About Nick Saele

Staff Product Designer, Design Systems at Gusto

Hi, I’m Nick. Currently I work at Gusto on the design systems team as a Staff Product Designer. I have a big passion for design systems and strong skillset for career growth, portfolio building, interview preparation and offer negotiation. I’ve worked in various different fields (health, education & financial technology) and have been able to expedite my career trajectory from Contract Designer to Staff Product Designer in about four years. I’d love to share my skillset and knowledge with other designers who are looking to improve their craft, prepare for an upcoming interview or simply interested in growing their design intelligence.

Tasks & skills I can help you with include • Career growth • Improving your skillset as a product designer • Usability Testing • Product & system thinking • Creating a scalable design system • Succeeding/developing in a new or current role • Improving your portfolio • Portfolio & interview preparation • Whiteboard challenges & app critiques • Salary negotiation • Mock interviews

He took the time ahead of the call to review my portfolio and resume, document notes/recommendations, and shared it with me at the end of the session.
