Gilbert Vega

Senior Product Designer / Design Engineer

I design complex product workflows
and turn them into
clear, shippable systems.

With a foundation in frontend development and 12+ years in design, I help technical teams turn complex problems into scalable products, bridging design intent and code, whether that's building zero-to-one or evolving what already exists.

Challenge & context

A lending product that only existed in code, invisible outside engineering.

Sole product designer for 15 months, working directly with the CEO, CTO and PM.

What I led

Set the direction for three connected experiences on one shared foundation, not a single tool with permission toggles.

Impact & evidence

More than 10 enterprise partners closed with no engineer in the room, team fully self sufficient.

People notice how I work

“

Gil took dense, sensitive financial data and found a structure that didn't sacrifice accuracy for simplicity. Setting clear design standards across the product.

“

He turns complexity into clarity. He asks the right questions, surfaces edge cases early, and aligns stakeholders fast. He raised the bar for our UX practice.

“

He understood our brand deeply and quickly. He's precise, proactive with suggestions, and incredibly easy to collaborate with. The most effective designer I've worked with.

“

Gil is rare among designers in how deeply he understands front-end constraints. He designs with component reusability and implementation in mind, which made design-to-engineering handoffs remarkably smooth.
