Each company has its unique setup and challenges, so there's no one-size-fits-all approach. However, I can certainly provide you with a general overview of how things typically work when it comes to developing digital products.

When designing great user experiences, having a structured approach makes all the difference. Here are the methodologies I use most frequently:


Agile vs Scrum

Agile and Scrum are like two buddies who work hand in hand to make projects run smoothly. Agile is the big-picture mindset, encouraging flexibility and customer feedback throughout a project. Scrum, on the other hand, is like the practical coach on the field, providing a structured game plan with roles like Product Owner and Scrum Master, and using rituals like daily stand-ups and sprint planning to keep the team on track. Together, they help teams stay agile, adapt to changes, and deliver awesome results. It's like the perfect combo for a winning project playbook.

My Go-To UX Processes

Design Thinking – A human-centered approach focused on empathy, ideation, and rapid prototyping.

Double Diamond – A structured way to explore and define problems before finding solutions.

Design Sprint – A fast-paced method to prototype and test ideas within days.

Lean UX – An agile approach focused on quick iterations and learning through real user feedback.

Jobs To Be Done (JTBD) – Understanding user motivations and needs beyond demographics.

Why these methods?

They are flexible, adaptable, and promote experimentation and rapid learning while fostering collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.

About me

My name is Diego Nascimento. I'm a Principal UX Designer at Volvo Group in Gothenburg, Sweden, where I lead UX strategy and execution for large scale logistics platforms and drive the adoption of the Volvo Group Design System across digital products. My work focuses on clarity, scalability, accessibility, and measurable business impact.

I'm a Brazilian designer with more than 18 years in the design field, having moved into UX as my career evolved from web and 3D design into product and enterprise systems. Over the years, I've designed for global brands including Volvo, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, AB InBev, and many others.

I hold a bachelor's degree in Design and completed most of an MBA in UX Design and Strategy, which strengthened my product thinking beyond visuals. I've led design systems, transformed complex enterprise platforms, guided teams, and delivered solutions adopted worldwide.
