Spoke.ai
An AI-powered solution for product teams to launch faster and communicate better.
I helped design and strategize the product migration of Spoke.ai from a web app to a macOS app. The goal was to consolidate the tools and workflows a product person uses, thus increasing their efficiency. I worked on this project with another designer, a founder, engineers, and data scientists.

Value-based pricing: a complete overhaul of a SaaS pricing model
I contributed to the redesign of a product to align with a new value-based pricing model. This resulted in the conversion of over 1,000 paying members in less than three months. My squad was comprised of a product manger, and front-end and back-end engineers.

Helping users keep their profile up to date
I designed a feature for users to continually update their profile skills, leading to a 669% increase in user-generated content within two weeks. This increased visibility for agencies and significantly increased visitor traffic.

"During his time in the Spoke team, Cristian consistently delivered high quality work in a fast-paced, early-stage environment. Building an AI-first product where the possibilities of UI/UX are changing fast is a real challenge, but Cristian was extremely adaptable and able to move quickly in ambiguous circumstances, with great hustle.
He’s a fantastic communicator, which is an increasingly important skill in a remote-first world, and always did a great job keeping others in the loop and getting feedback in an efficient way, whether through Loom, Slack, or calls.
Cristian has a strong process in the way he works, and always tries to get to the heart of the problem. I was also really impressed with how his technical understanding grew during his time in the team, with him looking into the Slack API to understand what was possible and push the boundaries of UX forward with the Spoke product."

"Cristian is a talented and driven Product Designer. This is why he's been such a fast learner.
He deeply cares about the rest as well: understanding the business context, measuring the success of his designs in a quantitative way, as well as making sure things are clear and valuable to users and internal stakeholders.
Most of all, he's a gem of a colleague: funny, open, empathetic.
I'll be glad to let you know more of my take, send me a DM if you're interested.”

“Cristian is an outstanding Product Designer.
He always makes principled decisions to create excellent solutions to user problems. When I worked with him, he covered extensive ground: user research, workflows, wireframing, design systems and establishing metrics to measure success. Cristian contributes significantly to making it easy to iterate on products.
Additionally, Cristian is a great collaborator when it comes to working with Engineering. His communication is clear, both sync and async. Cristian is also capable of understanding technical limitations/cost and effectively adapting so that the team delivers great value in a small amount of time.
Cristian would be a great addition to any Product organisation.”

“Cristian is probably the most incredible, genuine and kind individual I have had to chance to work with in my entire life. Selfless, enthusiastic and eager to learn, Cristian was a highly valuable asset to our Product Design Team. Along his strong skills in Figma or any other designer tools, his ability to describe his design decisions clearly and present them to an audience is remarkable. Extremely enthusiastic and with a positive mindset, Cristian will always breath new life into your day. I couldn’t recommend it more, this designer is a gem.”

Achievements
Had 2 successful Product Hunt launches
I assisted in designing two Spoke.ai products launched on Product Hunt. One, an AI Slack app, received the 2nd Product of the Day, and the other, an AI macOS app, secured the 3rd spot.
Contributed to Figma's Community
I participated in a hackathon where my team and I had 24 hours to create a design system-related project. This lead to the creation of an Annotation Tool file that was duplicated more than 3.8k times.
About
With experience in AI, B2B Marketplace, and Tech Recruitment industries, I offer nearly 4 years of expertise. My specializations include Product Design, UX/UI Design, and Web Design.
Excellent communication is one of my strongest skills. Whether that would be through sync or async (e.g. Loom videos) channels, I always make sure to effectively articulate and translate design decisions to any stakeholder.
I have experience working both in teams, alongside project managers, engineers, founders, data analysts, and marketing professionals, and also independently.
