About

Hi, I’m Gabe.

I’m a product and brand designer in New York.

I’ve lived in eight places to get here, across the U.S. and in London, and being the new kid over and over made me adaptable, which shows up in how I design. I grew up drawing and painting, then found design at Penn and switched my major from biology. Now I design products and brands and build them myself.

Gave me Roots (technically)

I was born here in 2001 and we moved before I turned two, so I have exactly zero memories of it. The Bay Area has stayed in my life through family and visits ever since. It’s never quite felt like home, but it’s where I’m from.

Pieces of me so far

I spend as much time outside as I can: hiking, cycling, running, skiing in the winter and golf in the summer. I’ll try almost anything once, which is how I ended up paragliding over Lake Annecy and cycling from Geneva to the Mediterranean with my family.

I still draw and paint, too (some of it is here), and I root for the Chicago teams (Go Bears, Bulls, Cubs, Blackhawks!).

  1. Himedi

    Designer

    Since December 2024

    Himedi is a startup that helps people in the U.S. book health checkups in Korea.

    I’m the only designer, so I design the whole U.S. product, from the homepage and the checkup builder to the booking flow and the marketing around them.

    I built the storefront’s first component library, with 30 components and 59 design tokens, and it now runs across the 195-page site.

    I designed both of Himedi’s repositionings, eight months apart: first a concierge for high-spending travelers in December 2025, then a modern longevity brand in August 2026.

    I also run Himedi’s creative and grew its Instagram from 2,000 to 25,000 followers.

    Design team

    September 2023 to April 2024

  3. Betley Lab, University of Pennsylvania

    Graphic design and research intern
