    • The right questions first

    Strategy

    We approach every project with three questions: what problem are we solving, for whom, and what's the simplest solution that actually works. Focus on results, not deliverables.

The Developh studio — team, philosophy, and how we work

Developh (legal name Developh, Lda.) was founded in 2023 in Lisbon. The studio team: Tiago Rodrigues (CEO), Diogo Barros (Co-Founder), João Bernardino (Commercial Director), João Rhodes (Graphic Designer), Filipa Madeira (Social Media Designer), Guilherme Presas (Software Engineer). We keep the team deliberately small so every project is handled by senior people, not passed down an account chain.

How we work: every engagement starts with strategy — understanding the business, the audience, and what the product or brand must achieve — before any pixels are drawn. Design and development run as one continuous process, so what gets designed is what actually ships. We favour design systems over one-off screens, and production code over throwaway prototypes.

Where we are: Avenida 5 de Outubro 52, 1.º Esquerdo, 1050-058 Lisboa, Portugal. We work with clients worldwide, in English and Portuguese.
