LUIS SILVA
UI/UX Designer & Front-End Developer with 16 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 product 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 don’t rely on personal preference or guesswork, instead, I make decisions driven by data. Leveraging tools like Google Analytics, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, Visual Web Optimizer, Amplitude, and others, I uncover real UX and conversion issues that lead to informed, impactful solutions. 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 Engineer (UX Designer + Front-End Developer) with over 16 years of experience leading the transformation of complex systems into intuitive, scalable, and high-performing platforms. My career began in graphic design and evolved through front-end engineering into product design, equipping me with a rare blend of visual craftsmanship, technical acumen, and user-centered thinking.
I’ve led cross-functional efforts on infrastructure tools, developer platforms, and enterprise dashboards, shaping experiences that minimize cognitive load, optimize workflows, and drive meaningful business outcomes. I believe design leadership is about bridging engineering, business, and user needs to create systems that are not only functional and performant but also elegant, consistent, and easy to use.
My approach is systems-oriented and data-driven. I'm framework-agnostic and fluent in tools like Figma, modern JavaScript frameworks, and analytics platforms including Hotjar, Amplitude, Clarity, and VWO. These tools enable me to identify real user friction points and make informed, strategic design decisions. From setting design direction and architecture to prototyping and implementation oversight, I ensure solutions scale with clarity and purpose.
In leadership roles, I’ve mentored designers, collaborated with engineering and product leadership, and contributed to team growth through documentation, systems, and education. As a YouTube educator and design advocate, I’ve found teaching to be a powerful tool, not just for others, but for deepening my own expertise and fostering a culture of continuous learning.
