Hello, I'm Gustavo
/goos-tah-voh/
I design user centered products, and the systems that keep them consistent. Lately, with AI woven through the whole process.
Day job
These days I'm a Senior Product Designer at NerdWallet, working through Truelogic. Before that I spent years with fintech and SaaS teams at Procore, ecoPortal, Banco Inter and Asaas, sticking with each problem from the first research call all the way to the screens people actually use.
Out of office
When I'm not designing, you'll probably catch me on a tennis or padel court, hosting a board game night, running a tabletop RPG campaign, lost in a PC game, or cooking something ambitious. I genuinely enjoy building things, untangling hard problems, and getting way too invested in the details.
My super powers
Approach
I own problems end to end, from discovery and research to shipped UI. Decisions are driven by user evidence, validated through prototyping and usability testing, and shaped together with product and engineering.
Tooling
Figma and design systems are home base, paired with agile delivery. I work fluently with AI, Claude, Gemini and Figma AI, using prompt engineering and vibe coding to prototype and ship web apps fast.
Domains
Fintech, SaaS and enterprise, designing complex, data heavy products for regulated, high traffic environments.
