Paolo's profile image in illustration style

Hello, welcome.

I'm Paolo and as designer of digital products, my primary goal is to deliver exceptional user experiences through a user-centred design (UCD) approach.

I thrive on creative problem-solving, blending user needs, technical realities, and business goals seamlessly.

This approach ensures my designs are not only imaginative but also practical and meet the needs of both users and stakeholders.

I'm currently a senior designer, part of the talented team at John Lewis & Partners (product team + design system), and thrilled to serve as a jury member for the prestigious CSS Design Awards, where I get to see some of the most innovative and creative designs out there.

User-centred design solutions

By focusing on the user, products become intuitive, efficient, enjoyable, and customised to meet the specific needs of the users they serve.

I collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams to create visually appealing and user-friendly interfaces. Sketch, prototype, and test ideas, iterating on solutions over time, translating research insights into actionable outcomes.

Ana Abrantes

Sr. Product Designer – MVF Global

I worked in the same team as Paolo, we collaborated on several projects, and can say for sure it was the best collaboration I ever had! Paolo was always welcoming of different perspectives and willing to iterate more on his work until we found the right solution. Apart from being an incredible designer, Paolo is also an amazing person, always available to help and accept new challenges, bringing enthusiasm and a friendly smile to all the meetings we had.

Rebecca Harrison

Creative Director – Brandwatch

Paolo has been a great part of our team at Brandwatch. Helps create a brilliant team atmosphere; he brings a blend of calm determination and a real motivation for learning which in many ways encourages other to follow suit. I have no doubt that Paolo will continue on a path of growth wherever he decides to go. It’s been a real pleasure to both collaborate with and manage Paolo. I’m glad our paths crossed and no doubt they will again.

Pete Rundle

Sr. Developer/Designer – Brandwatch

I was Paolo’s line manager for around 2 years. During that he was always pushing to improve, and his enthusiasm for both UI/UX and code was always tangible. He designed and coded many of our design system’s front-end components, which were always slick and on brand. As well as code, he also managed and maintained the team Figma library - enabling other designers to use our front-end components and speak the same language as developers.
