Gabriel Valdivia
About
I help early-stage startups ship fast without compromising quality.
Capabilities
Approach
01
Shared ownership. Whether I work independently or integrate with your team, everyone comes along the process.
02
I work fast, like really fast. Quick iteration allows us to zoom through explorations until we arrive at something that feels just right.
03
Show and tell. I frequently share work in progress, usually in the form of screen recordings with a voice over.
04
Bias for action. I prefer creating tangible artifacts to visualize the team's ideas over lengthy documents that often go ignored.
05
I work in systems. Whether it’s a small feature or an entire design system, I create reusable components for the team.
06
Design is thinking. I am not afraid to throw away an idea and explore divergent solutions. The more the merrier!
