Career

Experience

I’m Gauthem — a product designer who has spent 8+ years taking products from zero to one. I own the full journey: research and problem framing, flows and wireframes, high-fidelity UI, design systems and hand-off, with AI-native workflows that shorten the path from concept to production. I’ve led design teams, mentored designers and partnered closely with product and engineering to ship work that moves real numbers.
