About Yan
Yan Fontão
Most products lose something between design and code. Mine don’t: I research the problem, design the product and ship the interface myself, so what you approve is exactly what your users get.

What I do
- Product design — Web and mobile products, from the first flow to the polished screen.
- Design engineering — I build what I design: working interfaces in code, not only mockups.
- AI products — Interfaces that make AI understandable, and products built with AI from the start.
- UX research — Interviews, surveys and usability tests that show what to build next.
- Design systems — Audits, tokens and components a team really adopts.
- Product strategy — Finding the right problem before designing the answer.
