I lead brand and product design for startups and platforms, most recently at Unspendable Labs. Earlier, a Notable investor site I designed helped close a $1M funding round. Trained as an architect, which shows in how I build systems, not just surfaces.

Currently expanding into AI-assisted design and development.

About me

I'm Mateo Gomez Unda — a Creative Director and Architect with over a decade of experience building integrated design systems. I approach digital platforms and physical environments through an architectural lens: every visual, interaction, and spatial detail forms part of a cohesive, scalable structure.

My goal is to bridge strategy and execution — turning complex ideas into quiet, timeless systems that scale. Most recently, I led brand and product design at Unspendable Labs. Earlier, a Notable investor site I designed helped close a $1M funding round.

Building in AI
live project, in progress

What am I up to these days?

I'm currently expanding into AI-assisted design and development — using it for research and strategy so far, and now building fluency in AI-assisted production, in the open rather than waiting to arrive at expertise before starting.

Operating globally, I split my time between digital brand systems and architecture — two current projects are using AI-assisted rendering as part of the process.
