A brief bio

I'm Paulo, a designer specializing in human computer interaction and software design for consumer products.

tl;dr
I’m exhilarated by the design and craft of things, figuring out how something should work, how it should look, how it should feel.  I’m fortunate to have worked at some really amazing companies that wanted to find answers to questions intriguing to me. Some favorites:

At Apple, I got to work at the intersection of design and photography, innovating on features to expand the capabilities iPhoto, Aperture, Photos for Mac and iOS, and iPhone camera.

At Oculus, I explored virtual reality, creating interfaces for a fully immersive environment. It literally added dimensions to the way I thought of interaction.

At Lyft, I explored improving the passenger experience, and connected the dots to how mobility would have the potential to influence the design of cities and spaces.

At National Public Radio, I designed the news agency’s first apps for iPhone and iPad, taking NPR beyond just sound on the radio to a look and feel on new platforms.

Prior to all this, I was in advertising, designing web experiences for clients such as Volkswagen and Timberland.

I’m based in Honolulu and the Bay Area, and occasionally very active on Instagram. My curriculum vitae and list of patents are on LinkedIn. Let's connect!
