Daniel Risi Experience Design Sr. Manager, Brasil,
EY Design Studio LAS

Better known as Risi, he is a designer with two decades of experience, who has done a bit of everything in building and operating digital products and services, from R&D to launching global services. As such, he knows he can never stop learning, researching and studying to make technology truly respond to people's needs and aspirations (and not the other way around).

Enthusiastic about collaborative, diverse and open innovation environments, he understands design thinking as a bridge between various disciplines to propose affirmative solutions, especially for the big problems facing humanity. As such, he is also involved in teaching design, as well as acting as a mentor in programmes that foster entrepreneurship.

In his spare time, he enjoys good company (including dogs), good music (despite being a lousy amateur musician) and good food (even on a diet). As much as possible, he tries to accumulate Bitcoins, but he believes that travel is the only investment with a guaranteed return, whether the destination is a beach or a scientific conference.
