SILVA
UI/UX Designer & Front-End Developer with 15 years of experience turning ideas into intuitive, responsive, and visually compelling digital products. I blend design and development to create seamless user experiences from concept to launch.
SKILL SET
I specialize in front-end design and development from concept to deployment — translating requirements into wireframes, high-fidelity designs, and clean, maintainable code. By combining UI development and UX design, I deliver interfaces that align seamlessly with the technology stack and business goals. I’m highly proficient in my core tools, quick to adapt, and committed to building exceptional user experiences end-to-end.
About
Me
Hi, my name is Luis Silva. I am a Senior Product Designer with over 15 years of experience transforming complex systems into intuitive, scalable platforms. My career began in graphic design, which evolved into front-end engineering and product design — giving me a unique ability to merge visual craft with technical precision.
Throughout my career, I’ve led the design of infrastructure tools, dashboards, and enterprise-scale platforms — shaping experiences that reduce cognitive load and improve developer efficiency. I believe technical design should bridge engineering and user needs, ensuring every product is not only performant and reliable, but also clear, consistent, and easy to use.
I’m framework-agnostic and systems-oriented, with expertise in Figma, prototyping, and modern JavaScript frameworks. From strategy and information architecture to interactive prototypes and responsive interfaces, I bring ideas from concept to execution — building platforms that scale, adapt, and empower both engineers and end users.

Projects
Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked on projects ranging from large-scale enterprise deployments to small, agile builds. My experience spans dedicated UX/UI design, front-end development, and full end-to-end ownership — from concept to launch. I’ve enhanced in-progress products and built new ones from the ground up, always focused on delivering intuitive, high-quality user experiences.
Adaptable and fast to learn, I’ve mastered unfamiliar frameworks in days to meet project needs and thrive in diverse environments. Below is a selection of notable projects I’ve contributed to, with screenshots and summaries provided where possible despite confidentiality restrictions.

Tutorials
A professor once told me, “You truly understand something when you can teach it to someone who knows nothing about it.” That philosophy drives my YouTube tutorials, where I break down complex front-end and UI/UX concepts into clear, actionable lessons. Teaching not only helps others grow but also sharpens my own expertise.
