founded

Bliss creates user-centered digital products, combining design and technology to deliver simple, useful, and impactful experiences.

Bliss started pretty much like the universe, with a BIG BANG… of curiosity. Sparked by the 2009 launch of the iPhone, our founders, André Gil and Tiago Janela, started a company focused on mobile apps. Born within the WYgroup – where it was founded and nurtured – Bliss grew from a bold, curious, and audacious idea into what we are today. Today, we build so much more than just mobile apps, and we’re global, as for clients and teams. From product managers to software engineers, designers, marketers, and creatives, our offices are in Lisbon, Porto, Copenhagen, and New York. We help our clients give their customers great experiences through high-end digital products worldwide. We’ve launched over 300 digital products in the last decade, with an experienced team of designers, engineers, and creatives who work alongside each client.

How to Execute Effective Design-to-Development Handoffs

Ineffective design handoffs often create ambiguity, delays, and rework in delivery. This guide demonstrates how to structure handoffs using a Figma-based system that centralizes specifications, behaviors, accessibility, and review processes into a single source of truth. It outlines practical templates and documentation approaches that reduce interpretation gaps and improve collaboration between design and engineering teams. Technology leaders should focus on embedding structured knowledge directly into workflows to enable consistent execution and scalable delivery.

Designing Gamification as a Habit System

Gamification creates durable value only when mechanics are tied to a product’s core behavior rather than added as decorative rewards. The article shows how micro-rewards, progression paths, purchase-linked challenges, leaderboards, and social motivation can turn routine actions into repeatable engagement loops across retail and employee wellness. The decision implication is architectural and behavioral: incentives, user data, personalization, and measurement must operate as one system. Product leaders should test whether gamified interactions improve meaningful retention and task completion—not merely short-term activity.
