Design de Experiência do Usuário no Brasil: panorama e acervo de produções

Abstract

This study, developed within the scope of Final Thesis Project, proposed the investigation of the academic and literary productions about User Experience (UX) Design in Brazil, with focus on the conception and implementation of a digital collection that catalogs Brazilian publications between the years 2000 and 2025. The work arose from the need to map and systematize the knowledge of the field, scattered across different sources and databases. The methodology adopted a multiple research character, integrating exploratory and descriptive perspectives in the systematic review and analysis of productions, as well as the practical nature of developing a digital artifact grounded in the User-Centered Design approach. The specific objectives of the study consisted of mapping Brazilian digital databases, identifying and cataloging productions on UX Design, analyzing publications according to defined criteria, defining requirements for the interface, and developing the digital collection. With this, the study contributed to the initial understanding of the UX Design panorama, evidencing aspects such as evolution, interdisciplinary relations, theoretical perspectives, and project approaches. Furthermore, it allowed reflections on the relevance of memory and documentation as instruments of Design identity. As results of the Systematic Review, 34 databases were mapped, resulting in the cataloging of more than 1400 productions, including scientific articles, books, and expanded abstracts. Additionally, the analysis allowed understanding the temporal distribution of productions, thematic incidence, and the panorama of the mapped databases. From this, a collaborative digital collection was designed, allowing consultation of these publications, addition of new works, and visualization of catalog statistics. As final considerations, it is understood that the artifact adds to the initiatives and actions of strengthening and documentation of UX Design, by contributing to the accessibility and valorization of national knowledge in the field.
