I'm Gaby, a product designer and photographer based in NYC. Most recently, I was designing software for the metaverse at Gather. I grew up in the Bay Area exploring the 2000s era of the internet and technology. I've bounced around LA, Seattle, and now NYC, learning about the human experience and how to make it more joyful and connected. I enjoy working on end-to-end product design, crafting elegant UI design and interactions, and working closely with engineering to ship polished products. Ultimately I want a hand in designing the future I live in. From crafting the software I use daily to building the chair that sits in my home.
