Hi! I'm BrunoMonteiro.
I design and code things
to be used by humans
on the internet.
Hybrid » UX + UI Design + Front-end.
About me
Dear All, glad to have you here! I’ve finally managed to make time to build my own website! Wow! Well.. my web journey started right after thinking that one day I could be a game designer. Actually, it was what we all knew of “cool” in the digital area by the late 90’s, right before the internet of things explosion.
I’ve been designing, since the early days of Photoshop and Netscape (Yes, I’ve used the almighty Netscape Composer to edit HTML pages around 1998… Hey! I’m self-taught. Had to start somewhere). Damn, those days…
Today, as a maker, I design and build for everywhere once we are all using everything to access information on the web. “I love this game!”.
I teach New Media Design
at University of Madeira
I’m teaching, as Assistant Professor, since 2014/15, the disciplines of “Digital Lab II” and “Interaction Media Design”.
I deliver, daily basis, the reality of the Web and the industry. From theorical to pratice sessions students are learning the foundations of Web Standards while understanding the power we have, as digital workers, to deploy digital products with enhanced clarity on the goals, of each project, through a handcrafted design and code process with cross context, browser and devices compliant envyronments in mind.
“Designers must code! ” and “Build once, publish everywhere ” are one main keywords for the life of each student while doing their design graduation at University of Madeira.
