João Montenegro

João Montenegro is a Product Designer that is passionate about bringing to life what he believes to be the next generation of user experiences: simple ways to interact with digital services, 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. João currently works as a Product Designer and Manager at The Dark Matter Collective, a group of product developer professionals which he co-founded. The Dark Matter Collective is based in Lisbon, Portugal, and works with customers from across all industries.
