Hi! My name is Gabriel.
I'm a design professional focused on crafting seamless customer journeys that inspire action, leading creators and builders in the pursuit of design excellence across complex products, and carving direct pathways for design-led business results.
I'm currently the Director of Design at Trader, leading design for AutoTrader and AutoSync.
My Story
I've focused my career on solving complex problems with solutions so simple they feel magical — unifying the car buying experience for consumers and dealers “in one place” at AutoSync, helping homeowners buy and sell real estate “without stress” at Properly, and ensuring small business owners “get paid faster” at Wave.
Using a blended approach between design and product management, I’ve brought products to life from 0-1, built and mentored design teams, and scaled design processes.
I see Design as more than just pixels — it's a discipline and problem-solving process that can be used to solve all kinds of challenges, from improving products and services to inventing new business models.
