Hi, I’m João! I’m an Industrial Designer that loves creating new products that make a difference! I thoroughly enjoy studying the shape, usage and integration of things! In the design process, I have an interest in exploring everything and I believe that each detail in a project is worthy of being observed. Specifically in the production processes, which is why I am very fond and active with 3D printing! I truly believe that it is changing the way we consume products and I want to be part of that adventure. I’m extroverted, focused, communicative, ambitious and efficient. I easily adapt to teamwork environments and enjoy the multidisciplinary qualities of the design process. Each stage of a project is important and I always strive myself, from the first sketch to the final prototype. Currently pursuing a Master Programme in Product Design at the School of Arts and Design Polytechnic of Leiria, building on a Bachelor in Industrial Design from the same school, and experience as a Design Technician. I currently study and practice at ESAD.LEIRIA and LiDA; I look forward to applying additive manufacturing and 3D printing to real-world products.
