About
About
Hi, I'm Gilberto Genua.
I design digital products that balance business goals, user needs, and technical realities. My path is anything but linear, moving from electronics to sociology, from selling truffles in New York to leading design for enterprise platforms. These experiences built my method: pragmatic, adaptable, and respectful of context. I don’t follow trends: I solve problems, creating systems that scale and products people actually use.

My process is pragmatic: clarify goals, align people, prototype fast. Always focused on solutions that work in real contexts.

1. Clarity
I cut through the noise, translate briefs into real problems, and get everyone aligned before a single pixel is moved.

2. Context
I dive into the sector, study competitors, and observe real behavior designing for how people actually work, not for slides.
