Dan's Portfolio

Hi, I’m Dan Silveira.

I am a product leader, educator, and writer with a passion for creating valuable, human-centered experiences by aligning user needs with business objectives. With a Master of Design in Strategic Foresight and Innovation, I bring a unique blend of design thinking and foresight methodologies to product development, helping businesses stay ahead of emerging trends.

As a Senior Design Consultant at IBM’s iX Consulting, I’ve led cross-functional teams to deliver large-scale, complex applications in sectors such as government, financial services, and parcel delivery. In 2020, I co-founded IBM's Strategic Foresight Guild, which now boasts over 500 members. Our mission is to empower roles across the development lifecycle with the skills to future-proof their products.

In addition to my consulting work, I serve as a Course Director at York University, a Professor at George Brown College, and formerly as an instructor at BrainStation. I've mentored and taught over 400 students, fostering the next generation of designers and product thinkers.

As a published writer, I share insights on design and product strategy through platforms such as Adobe XD Ideas, UX Planet, and IBM Design, contributing to the broader tech community.
