About
I'm Gabriel, a multi-disciplinary designer with 3 years of experience based in Milan, specializing in transforming startup ideas into investor-ready opportunities. I help pre-seed tech, web3, AI and fintech startups validate their concepts and attract funding through strategic design and prototyping.
Currently, I've helped startups like Kylix Finance and DedoAI achieve remarkable results. My design work for Kylix Finance increased investor interest by 800%, and they have successfully closed a $300K funding round, gained access to Polkadot's accelerator program in New York, and won the first-place award for best startup idea and pitch deck presentation in KOLO Dubai 2025. They also received a free UX audit from Braille Studio, a renowned design consultancy.
My approach focuses on rapid validation through strategic prototyping and compelling investment materials. Rather than rushing into expensive development, I help founders validate their ideas through interactive MVP prototypes and real user testing, saving money while maximizing market potential.
