About me

Vico. Senior Product Designer. 15+ years. Zero tolerance for mediocre design.

I don't do "pretty." I build AI-first products that print money.

iGaming - Fintech - Crypto - SaaS — I know these battlefields. I know what converts, what retains, and what makes users stick around when every competitor is one click away

WHAT I ACTUALLY DO

AI-FIRST PRODUCT ARCHITECTURE
Your competitors are slapping ChatGPT into a sidebar and calling it innovation. I'm designing products where AI is the backbone — invisible, intuitive, and actually useful. Not a gimmick. A weapon.

LANDING PAGES THAT DON'T FUCK AROUND
High-intent traffic. Split-second decisions. I build pages that grab attention, kill friction, and drive action. No fluff. No "let's explore." Just conversions.

DESIGN SYSTEMS THAT DON'T COLLAPSE
Most design systems are beautiful graveyards. Mine are built to survive real teams, real deadlines, and real scale. Token-based. Dev-ready. Actually documented.

COMPLEX PLATFORMS, EFFORTLESS UX
Dashboards. Workflows. Data-heavy interfaces. I make the complicated feel inevitable — like it could never have been designed any other way.

REGULATED INDUSTRIES, ZERO COMPROMISE
KYC flows. Compliance. Security. I balance the red tape with experiences users don't hate. Fintech, Crypto, iGaming — I've been in the trenches.

MY PROCESS — NO BULLSHIT
1️⃣ DEEP DIVE — I learn your users, your market, your tech stack. I ask uncomfortable questions. I find the real problems, not the surface-level ones.
2️⃣ ARCHITECT — Wireframes, flows, prototypes. I stress-test early. I kill bad ideas fast.
3️⃣ EXECUTE — Pixel-perfect, dev-ready, performance-obsessed. No "we'll fix it in development."
4️⃣ SHIP & ITERATE — I don't disappear after handoff. I stay close, measure, and optimize.

WHY ME
Because I've shipped in industries where good design is the difference between a unicorn and a corpse. I move fast. I think like a founder. I care about metrics, not awards.

I don't need my ego stroked. I need the product to win.

NOT FOR EVERYONE
If you want safe, generic, committee-approved design — I'm not your guy.
If you want a product that dominates its category, converts like crazy, and scales without breaking — let's talk.
