DesignEngineer.
I'm Gustavo Girard, an AI Design Engineer with 15+ years shaping products for startups and enterprises, blending design systems, engineering, and AI across the whole build.
Knowledge
shared.
I design products end-to-end, from fuzzy problem spaces to pixel tight interfaces. I obsess over systems that scale, rhythm in interaction, and the small stuff that separates shipping from shipping well.
Currently at Arena, building creator & community tooling used by top media brands. My focus there: realistic, functional prototypes built with AI, micro animations that bring them to life, and evolving the company's design system.
On the side, I ship design work with founders on AI, finance and lifestyle products.
My process is collaborative, opinionated, and allergic to fluff. Let's make something that lasts.
