# Leobardo Gudiño Garcia > Product Designer | Colorwave Fellow | AI Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/leobardo Product Designer who loves solving messy problems and turning them into simple, intuitive experiences. My work has spanned across fintech, civictech, edtech, and proptech... always with a focus on accessibility, research, and systems thinking. I get excited about designing products that not only look and feel good but also make a real impact, whether it’s helping underserved communities or streamlining complex workflows. I last did this at Beam by leveraging AI to streamline complex caseworker and admin workflows. Beyond design, I care about collaboration, learning, and pushing ideas forward with a mix of curiosity and strategy. At the end of the day, I believe great design is about making people’s lives easier, and that’s what keeps me motivated. If you’re looking for a collaborative designer with strong craft and ideas to build a new product or improve an existing one, you’ve found one. I can help with the following, as I've done it before: - Bringing a new product to life or 0-1 design - Creating a new design system - Build complex workflows (think Salesforce and ServiceNow) - Build an Auth system - Build a two-way Communication feature - Build an internal Payment system - Build a Multi-party feature - there's too many more to list, so reach out if you wanna chat :) Portfolio: https://www.leobardogudino.com/ ## Work Experience ### Product Designer @ Candescent Jan 2025 – Present Leading design to support over 1,300 financial-institution customers and more than 30 million consumer and business users.
