“Brian Gioia joined Definitive Healthcare as our very first Design System Manager where he didn’t just fill the role - he redefined it. As his manager, I saw firsthand how his impressive knowledge of software engineering and front-end development elevated our newly established UX team. Brian didn’t just bridge the gap between Product Design and Software Development; he built a highway. His ability to translate design language into functional, clean, and scalable code was nothing short of a superpower. He took what started as a Figma design library and transformed it into a full-fledged design system. That system that worked like a universal translator for everyone, from UX designers to QA teams, product owners, and developers. Where a design library serves the UX team, Brian’s design system was a game-changer: it provided clarity on how and why decisions were made, standardized UI nomenclature, and made collaboration smoother than butter on warm toast. Brian displayed tremendous versatility while joining a grown UX team. When we needed extra design talent, Brian stepped in as a UX designer, seamlessly collaborating with researchers, product teams, and information architects to develop new feature concepts. His ability to adapt to the team’s evolving needs and tackle challenges head-on proved invaluable as we navigated uncharted waters. Brian’s work was a masterclass in how to make design and development play nice together, and I couldn’t be prouder of what he accomplished. If your Product Design team needs a hands-on UX Engineer who can turn creative vision into functional magic, Brian’s your guy. Highly recommended!”
