Hi, I'm João Maria Sousa, 23 years old, with a degree in Equipment Design and a minor in Model Drawing. I'm a Master's student in Equipment Design, specializing in Product and Service Design at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Lisbon. I strive to balance function, aesthetics, and impact in my work, developing solutions that clearly address people's real needs. I'm especially invested in user-centered design and believe design can transform problems into opportunities. My process is design thinking—empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test—and I value the journey as much as the result. I begin with immersion to understand context, users, and challenges, then synthesize insights, ideate, and iterate with prototyping and testing to validate decisions and improve user experience. I enjoy teamwork and continuous learning as core drivers of meaningful design.…Hi, I'm João Maria Sousa, 23 years old, with a degree in Equipment Design and a minor in Model Drawing.
