Hey, I'm
Selected Work
Products I've shipped & shaped
Founder products and enterprise work — solving complex challenges through research, iteration, and systems thinking.
AI Agents · FounderLiveSkyfall
Agentic AI Workspace — Founder
Founded, designed, and architected a multi-agent AI workspace that puts a lineup of specialized agents to work across GitHub, Linear, Sentry, Notion, and Slack — from zero to a live product as a team of one.
Social · FounderLiveTribe Social
Community Platform — Founder
Founded and designed a vaporwave-styled social platform where users join interest-based tribes and share text, photo, video, and audio — all captured in-app. Live in beta at wetribe.app.
Healthtech · Internal ToolsAstro
Pharmacy Collaboration Platform
Led end-to-end design of an internal ticketing platform that cut prescription issue resolution time by 35% — turning ad-hoc problem solving into a systematic, accountable process for pharmacy teams and providers.
Product Strategy · BrandDineful — Curating Culinary Experiences
Food Discovery & Booking Platform
Led a dual-sided marketplace from product strategy through validated prototype — brand, UX, and business model for connecting independent chefs with adventurous diners.
AI · HealthtechKITT — AI Tool for Clinical Study Design
AI-Powered Research Platform
Defined the AI interaction model for a platform that automates clinical protocol design — cutting design time by 60% while keeping researchers in control of every regulatory decision.
Design Systems · HealthtechPiHealth Design System
Design Foundation Built from Scratch
Led the from-scratch build of BeiGene's PiHealth design system, accelerating development cycles by 40% and making WCAG-compliant, consistent experiences the default across mission-critical healthcare tools.
Founder · MobileDog Tales
Pet Care Platform for Busy Dog Owners
Founded, designed, and built a consumer pet-care booking app — driving a 200% increase in engagement and conversion and rebuilding the legacy experience into an accessible React single-page app.
Working with AI
How I Work With AI
AI isn't a feature I design around — it's how I work. I design AI products, and I build them with AI.
I ship working products, not mockups
Skyfall, Tribe Social, and this portfolio are all live products I designed in Figma and built with Claude Code. AI-assisted development collapsed my design-to-production loop from sprints to hours — every design decision gets validated in running software, and the handoff disappears entirely.
I design for AI as a medium
Agent hierarchies, conversational interfaces, confirmation gates, human-in-the-loop controls — I've designed the interaction patterns that make AI systems feel trustworthy, from Skyfall's multi-agent orchestration to KITT's regulatory-grade AI suggestions where every output stays auditable and under human control.
AI accelerates my entire process
Ideation, research synthesis, content design, prototyping, code review — I work through iterative prompting and rapid convergence: explore wide with AI, judge with taste, commit fast. The craft is knowing what to keep, what to cut, and why.
This site is itself a working example — designed in Figma, built with Claude Code, deployed on Vercel.
About
About Me
I'm Gerardo Vinces, a Senior Product Designer and Design Lead with 9+ years of experience driving impactful design across AI, healthtech, fintech, and enterprise SaaS. Today I design digital banking experiences across web and mobile at First Tech Federal Credit Union. I specialize in simplifying complex systems through human-centered design, systems thinking, and a strong UX/UI craft.
I'm also the founder of Skyfall, an agentic AI workspace I designed, architected, and built end-to-end — proof of how I work at the intersection of design leadership and emerging technology. Before that, my career took me from leading design for oncology research platforms and AI-powered healthcare tools to shaping developer and legal tech experiences, building scalable design systems and shipping products used by thousands of professionals.
I thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where experimentation, iteration, and empathy come together to create intuitive digital solutions.
Outside of work, I'm a passionate home cook, a foosball enthusiast, and a curious mind constantly learning about emerging tech, philosophy, and storytelling.
Let's build something meaningful.
