Hi, I’m Daniel Costa. I’m a UX/UI designer with 3+ years of experience shaping SaaS platforms, especially in public, educational, and social contexts. I’m a collaborative generalist who thrives in multidisciplinary, agile teams, always advocating for accessibility and clear, usable interfaces. I enjoy turning research into practical design solutions—from user flows and wireframes to prototypes and documentation. I’ve led usability studies, interviews, and journey mapping, and I translate complex technical or operational needs into intuitive visual experiences. I balance rigor with a friendly, user-centered approach and enjoy applying my work to real-world impact, including freelance projects and NGO initiatives.
