About me
João Montenegro is a Product guy that is passionate about bringing to life what he believes to be the next generation of user experiences: to merge digital with physical using (mostly) invisible interfaces. With people wanting to have fewer apps on their phones, but more meaningful interactions with brands, services, products, other people, other living beings, etc... João conceptualizes and designs solutions that use technology in a Human Centered approach. The fewer screens, the better... João's ideas come from a merger of concepts from AI futurists such as Ray Kurzweil and Murray Shanahan and User experience advocates such as Golden Krishna. Having both a Hardware and Digital background, João sees all kinds products as valuable touchpoints for the overall betterment of Human Experience.
