Cesar Garcia

Founding designer, twice. Engineer first. I’ve designed experiences for humans for a decade, and now building and shipping leveraging AI and my technical background.

200M+ people use my work. Give me the messy problems: hard tech limits, fuzzy data, fixes that don’t work. I don’t design around constraints. I break them down.

Worked with: NFL · Binance · Coinbase · Circle · Solana · Twitter · Royal Mail

Pensions took days. Ours took minutes.

First hire at a pension startup. I shipped it fast and ugly, then iterated our way to 3,000 savers.

It worked. Nobody used it.

Cable had one screen, a free pilot and no sales. I grew it with its users into a full fincrime suite.

I sold a lie.

Data nobody had monetized, sold only as consultancy reports. I turned it into a product clients drove themselves.
