Noel Braganza

Noel Braganza is a designer and founder based in Gothenburg, Sweden. He co-founded MuchSkills, a bootstrapped SaaS platform for skills intelligence, and Up Strategy Lab, a strategy and design consultancy. His background is in Interaction Design, with research experience at the MIT Design Lab.

Most of his work starts from the same instinct: that the inherited assumptions underneath a problem are usually more interesting than the problem itself. That's true of how organisations think about skills, how founders talk about growth, and how people are starting to make sense of AI.

MuchSkills is profitable and growing without external funding. That shapes how he thinks about building, what's worth optimising for, and what isn't.
