DESIGN RESEARCHER
& DIGITAL ARTIST

Hi, I am Hugo Pilate, a design practitioner with over ten years of experience, currently based in Gothenburg, Sweden. My practice spans design consulting, artistic production, and design education.

Through each of these, I use design to foster collaborative sensemaking and curiosity, treating every project as an opportunity to reflect on how we shape, and are shaped by, the world around us.

In 2022, I co-founded an artistic duo with Pedro Gil Farias, WHAT A MESS, where we interrogate the representation of urban spaces in video games and other digital mediums.
