Danilo Makio Saito is a multi-disciplinary designer based in São Paulo, Brazil. Over the years he has honed his skills leading projects and working with some of the top brands around the world to improve their products through user-centered design. As an accomplished concept artist as well, his personal projects display just how expansive a talent he has. We were honored to catch up with Danilo to hear his story and what role KeyShot plays in his process. You’ve had an array of experience across different design disciplines. What sparked your interest in Design and led to your current role as Head of Design, XR? Like many designers, I’ve always loved drawing since I was a kid. And I’ve also always been curious and passionate about learning new things. So those two things led me to the path of getting interested in Design. When I started studying Design at the University of Sao Paulo (FAUUSP), I was very lucky to be exposed to a variety of disciplines to which design is related. I was able to study industrial design, graphic design, digital design, technology, typography, engineering, and many other disciplines, and most importantly to learn the real design process where we put people at the center. I met amazing teachers and also great design students who are now doing amazing things in different areas.
