😁 Hi, I’m Gueayea! I’m a Staff-level product designer who specializes in growth, onboarding, and activation. At Gusto, I’ve led high-impact initiatives that drove measurable lifts in payroll onboarding, product adoption, and multi-product expansion. My background also includes scaling design systems across products at Meta and GoodRx.

I bring a mix of strategic vision, product thinking, and cross-functional leadership. I’ve led ambitious initiatives where success hinged on translating ambiguous business goals into clear design strategies—then presenting those visions early to leadership to drive alignment and secure buy-in. I thrive at guiding partners through complexity, building momentum, and ensuring design has a seat at the strategy table.
