Érico Dias Designer & Developer
Who I am

I'm Érico Dias — born in Paris, raised in Portugal, based in Spain. A multicultural designer and developer who takes an idea from a name on a napkin to a live product available to the world.

Two decades turning ideas into brands, campaigns and complete digital products. I love working brand, experience and technology as one single system. My path runs across graphic design, apparel and web development, and countries like France, Portugal, Spain, Denmark, Luxembourg, Italy, Greece and the USA.

I'm AI-native, but hands-on with the engine underneath: I read and debug the code, work directly in HTML, CSS and React on the front-end, understand how a database is structured in SQL, and keep an eye out for security gaps and experience-design flaws. That lets me take an idea all the way to a real, working product — on my own.

I work end to end and learn fast. Curious, hands-on, and happiest when something finally goes live. Off the clock, I pour a lifelong love of music into Synth Back & Relax — my own illustration brand celebrating synthesizer culture, recognized within the synth community.

What I bring to a team

Why work with me

What I'm especially good at

I do my best work with teams that decide, iterate fast and want to take real products to production. I especially enjoy the early phases — when there's still an idea to define, design and build.
