I’m Dave Gillett — a senior product designer with 15+ years shaping data-heavy SaaS from 0 to 1. I model how information connects across a platform, then carry the design end-to-end through prototyping and build.
Founded and designed end-to-end: a mobile app where loan officers film face-forward video with a teleprompter at the lens, and a 19-rule compliance engine reads every script before it posts.
Read case study → Architected a data model where one plan change propagates to every connected module — turning hours of manual reconciliation into a minutes-long update.
Designed and shipped the iOS/Android apps, web portals, and the design guidelines governing all customer-facing products — used at Google, Microsoft, and Apple.
Designed a responsive CRM and onboarding for people with no prior CRM vocabulary — now a category leader used by top firms across Washington state.
Before designing screens, I map how data and content connect across the whole platform — so one change propagates instead of piling up as manual work.
Discovery and problem framing through IA, flows, prototyping, and implementation support with engineering — carrying design intent all the way to production.
I fold AI tools like Claude and Claude Code into the workflow to move faster, document better, and pressure-test decisions across more angles.
