About Gabriel Valdivia
I've been practicing design for more than fifteen years, both as a design leader within large organizations and sole designer for startups. I'm currently a Principal Product Designer at Patreon and teach Product Design at The Cooper Union. Prior to that, I managed a Design and Research team at CNN's Emerging Platforms team following the acquisition of Canopy (a private personalization startup), spent two years at Google building technology for communities at risk, and four years exploring content creation and Virtual Reality at Meta.
