about me ✦ Daniela Ponciano

Hi, my name is Daniela (but everyone calls me Dani) and I’m a product designer. I’ve been passionate about design since school and never miss a oportunity to get hands on a project to bring ideas to life and turn them into tangible solutions that enhance people’s lives.

With a user-centered approach, I am committed to creating experiences that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and intuitive. My journey in design started as a graphic designer working with advertising but since has evolved into digital products.

I’ve been shaped by a constant pursuit of innovation and improvement, collaborating with diverse teams, having experience workin with fintechs, medical professionals, education, law, and various other fields.

I am ready to tackle creative challenges and work with you to create products that captivate and inspire. Let’s turn your ideas into reality.

Beyond the professional

I was born in Manaus, a city on the margin of the Amazon river, northen Brazil and moved to Rio de Janeiro after getting my bachelor degree. Rio stole my heart, the city is full of life and has such beautiful places that I’m proud to call it home for the last 10 years. After the Pandemic, I’ve been dividing my time between Halifax (NS – Canada) and Rio de Janeiro (RJ – Brazil). The Canadian experience has been so nice, even with such cold winter – nothing a pulled pork poutine can’t help.

My main hobby is designing and sewing clothes, but I used to make jewelry, bookbinding, silkscreening, pottery, woodworking and all kinds of activities away from the computer to keep me creative in other ways.

I have a cat named Panthro (yup, a Thundercats reference) and currently am engaged to the love of my life.

I worked with Dani on the same team. She is really dedicated to working and builds her projects with attention to detail. In addition, she is a relaxed person always open to learning, teaching and helping. Daniela is can be a great member of any team since she is great technically and as a person.

Jonatas M. Co-worker

I loved Daniela's work! Always with a lot of patience and speed, she created the website for our institution perfectly. She gave us many tips every step of the way, and mind you, we didn't understand anything about computers. I am very grateful to Daniela for her professionalism!

Nancy F. Client

I had the pleasure of meeting Daniela in university, and we worked together on several projects. Self-management, quick learning, excellent interpersonal skills, and a curious/attentive personality are natural qualities of Daniela that made a significant difference in our collaborations. I couldn't recommend her work more.
