Enrick Magalhães is a Master's candidate in the graduate program in Design at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Visual Communication Design from the same university. Enrick's research interests focus on the intersection of design and music, specifically exploring how gamification can be applied to the process of musical composition to make it more accessible to an audience without formal music theory training.

His current academic dissertation adopts the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology to investigate how the software design of musical composition tools can assist novice musicians in composing music based on the principles of music theory. Through an exploratory study, Enrick plans to analyze the available playful forms of assistance for musical softwares through iterative design and user evaluation. He aims to develop an intuitive and accessible tool that has the potential to significantly contribute to the fields of design and music, as well as educational and creative activities more broadly.
