About

Bernado Silva

Hi, I’m Bernardo Silva, a Senior Product Designer and educator with a passion for creating user-centered designs that drive engagement and innovation. Over the past 7 years, I’ve dedicated myself to helping aspiring designers and professionals master the art and science of product design. I specialize in areas such as user experience (UX) design, user interface (UI) design, prototyping, design systems, and usability testing, focusing on equipping learners with the creative skills and strategic thinking needed to excel in today’s competitive design landscape.

After earning my degree in Design and User Experience, I discovered my love for mentoring and creating impactful, hands-on learning experiences. Whether it’s crafting intuitive interfaces, solving complex design challenges, or building products that truly resonate with users, my courses are designed to bridge real-world design practices with a learner-focused approach.

I’m proud to have guided hundreds of learners on their design journeys, from beginners exploring the fundamentals of product design to experienced professionals refining their skills to stay ahead in the field.

Teaching Philosophy

I believe that great design is born at the intersection of creativity, empathy, and functionality. My teaching philosophy emphasizes hands-on projects, iterative problem-solving, and a deep understanding of user needs. By combining design theory with practical application, I strive to empower learners to create products that not only look great but also deliver meaningful experiences. My goal is to foster a collaborative learning environment where students feel inspired to innovate, experiment, and grow.
