Ivo Gomes@ivogomes

Hi! My name is Ivo Gomes and I work in the Usability, Accessibility and User Experience fields since 2003. I'm also passionate about functional and minimalistic design.

I graduated in Ergonomics, the science that helps understand the interaction between Man and his environment. Through Ergonomics we observe the way humans interact with objects around them, and propose solutions to improve that interaction. One of Ergonomics sub-areas is Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), which by itself evolved into the concepts of Usability and User Experience. The more usable a system is, the simpler and more effective will be the human interaction with it.

Currently I'm a Senior User Experience Designer at Talkdesk, where I'm helping to create a clear and accessible design framework for all of our products and leading the agent experience design initiative. I'm also a founding member of the Portuguese Usability Professionals Association and an active member of REPUX - Portuguese Network of User Experience.
