About me

Gina Cusano

Product Designer / Visual Designer

I have 15+ years of experience and my specialties include UX/UI, visual, digital and product design. My foundation in traditional design combined with a natural empathy propels my passion to create meaningful impact within diverse communities. Being a product designer provides opportunities to be an advocate for people and provide end-to-end user experiences. 

Throughout my career, I’ve built a compelling portfolio of work that showcases my expertise. The privilege of working with some amazing companies from small scale to Fortune 500 has given me a platform to produce solutions that resonate with both stakeholders and users successfully.

My experience

Product Design

I turn research and insights into thoughtful, human-centered solutions. My case studies demonstrate my design thinking process and how I blend my visual design background into functional and cohesive products. I focus on creating end-to-end products that support user needs and meet business goals.

Case studies

Visual Design

I care about creating visually compelling interfaces that elevate a user’s experience. I bring a meticulous eye for detail along with branding experience to produce visual harmony across every screen. My aim is to make interfaces look great and are effortless to use.

Design projects

Graphic Design

I gravitated to design even before it became a full-time career. I follow the principle that design should always serve a purpose. My portfolio is full of examples that demonstrate visual appeal, purpose, strategic thinking and more. Take a look.

Business Acumen

I have 15 years of experience running my independent design studio. During that time, I developed strong operational and strategic instincts. I led with transparency, organization and accountability. Projects were well-executed and successful for my clients.
