I’m Giovanni Gras, a design leader & product designer who turns messy product problems into clearer systems, sharper decisions, and better user experiences.

What I Do

I’ve spent most of my career in products where design has to do more than make things usable. Security, fintech, hardware wallets, bug bounty platforms, and banking tools. Places where clarity, trust, and operational efficiency directly affect product decisions.

My work sits between strategy and execution. I help teams understand what matters, validate it with users and data, and turn that evidence into product flows, design systems, and roadmap priorities that can actually be built.

I’m comfortable being the first design hire, creating structure where there is none, coaching designers, or connecting Product, Engineering, Support, Marketing, and leadership around a shared direction.

Principles

I like hard product problems with real constraints.

I start with evidence, but I do not hide behind research.

I care about systems because they make teams faster.

I design for users, engineering, support, and the business at the same time.
