Francesco Mastrogiacomo profile picture
A multidisciplinary product designer specialized in mobile, web and desktop applications. Through a user centered process, I bring ideas from concept to launch and beyond.

Experience
In my current remote position, in close cooperation with developers from 10 different SDK teams, we built the Chat Design System from the ground up, supporting iOS, Android, mobile, tablet, web mobile and web desktop platforms. I'm leading a small group of designers that focuses on improving interaction design and animations in the Chat App and building a new dashboard for our clients. As side projects we built several chat demos; Virtual Event, Gaming Livestream, Social Messenger, Customer Support, Team Collaboration. I collaborated in two successful Product Hunt launches for the Mobile Chat and Virtual Event Design Kits.
My work experience spans from service marketplace, mobile TV, mobile banking and betting apps to mileage tracking, SaaS and video conference apps.
Previously, I designed a mobile app that allows service professionals to browse interesting jobs in their area, communicate with clients and manage their public profile. Our cross-functional team included developers, a product owner, data scientist, marketing and customer service. I built the app's design system in Sketch and Figma in collaboration with developers, and tested every iteration with real users. The app is written in React Native.
