Letter from the Creator
Gisella with her dog in a park

Exploring the intersection of art and technology. I design intuitive digital experiences and build tools that shape the future. Always curious, always creating. My work is a testament to the power of creative thinking and risk-taking, and I'm always looking for new ways to push the boundaries of what's possible.

When I'm not experimenting:

I help companies build products people love.

Designing for startups—whether launching a new concept or refining a feature—is challenging. Designing for B2C is even more difficult: customers let you know immediately if they love the product or not. That kind of feedback loop means wearing many hats, moving fast, and learning to adapt quickly. Over time, resilience is built, and instincts are sharpened. Creating great products requires more than just visual design—it takes strong product thinking, a growth mindset, and a deep understanding of the customer.

2021-2024

Many new swimmers were dropping off during their free trial—missing out on experiencing the value of a personalized coaching plan. It was identified that without initially capturing a swimmer's accurate time, the AI couldn't generate relevant recommendations.

I designed a "Test Set" experience as the first workout—guiding members to log a benchmark swim in-app, immediately triggering tailored workouts.

This simple UX change led to a 10% increase in trial conversion and helped members reach their first "aha moment" within the first 7 days.

Through customer discovery calls and user interviews, we learned that MySwimPro members wanted the experience of having a coach on deck with them. With a small team and a global user base, it became clear that AI was the most scalable solution for personalized coaching. Over three quarters, we transformed MySwimPro into an AI-driven coaching experience—designing and shipping an algorithm that allowed for customized workouts, and real-time feedback to meet the demand for 24/7 support that human coaches couldn't offer across time zones.

Before and after of a mobile app design

MySwimPro’s product and marketing teams were operating with differing visual languages, leading to fragmented brand perception and duplicated design efforts. Developers were rebuilding components, and the UI felt inconsistent and outdated.

I led the creation of MySwimPro’s first design system and UI kit—partnering closely with the engineering, product, and marketing teams to unify branding, streamline component usage, and improve cross-functional alignment.

The result achieved a 93% engineering predictability rate, cut delivery times to 7-day cycles, and increased confidence in both deployment and recovery across teams.
