Clients View all In their words “Gabe is a master at taming the chaos of the 0 → 1 process. He has the rare ability to jump into the early stages of open-ended projects and rapidly develop structure and systems. He is proactive, works with little to no direction — and he is also very fast!” Tanuj Lalwani “I cannot recommend Gabe enough. Truly world-class in every sense of the word. From helping to visualize an ambitious product story & vision, to playing an active role in bringing on senior full-time talent, and everything in between — Gabe can seemingly do it all. Our product, team, culture, and customers are in a stronger position thanks to our time together.” Jinen Kamdar “Gabe zipped in to our team seamlessly, brought well researched insights and strategic thinking to every concept, and polished the details to a high-shine. We are extremely pleased with the work — not only the output but the process to get there.” Meghan Harvey “Gabe is a superb designer.
