Nelio Barros

ABOUT ME I am a senior UX manager based in Zürich, with a focus on the overlap between Design, Artificial intelligence/ML and User Experience. I have spent the last 18 years working in digital design, branding and art direction with a background on code development, and specialized in user experience (UX) and visual communication. My first paid project was a webshop I created for a friend in exchange for a playStation 2001. I hold a masters in Design and Visual Culture in Lisbon and started my career working for a web design agency and later for the biggest TV chain in Portugal doing Motion Design. Since coming to Switzerland I have worked in one of the reference Brand design agencies in Lausanne, started a monthly conference for Designers in Geneva, built my own design studio called Kinobrand, launched a startup called Luma7 developing a solution for the Parliament of Wallis and worked for a German multinational as a UX manager for the last 5 years in projects in Europe, USA and Mexico. I’m currently working in Zurich helping brands and businesses push their design and creative boundaries at the intersection of technology with an expert eye for craft and execution.
