Crafting Digital Experiences Since 2018

Hello, I'm Pete Waldo — a lead product designer focused on transforming ideas into intuitive, beautiful, and human-centered digital experiences. With over 8 years of experience, I specialize in UI/UX design, brand identity, and product strategy for startups and growing brands.

At the intersection of creativity and usability, I design experiences that not only look great — but make sense. My work blends thoughtful research, intuitive design systems, and strong visual storytelling to solve real-world problems.

Over the past 8 years, I've partnered with early-stage startups, growing teams, and global brands to create flexible design systems, shape memorable brand identities, and craft seamless digital products. My approach is grounded in empathy, clarity, and purpose—always putting users at the center. Outside of work, you'll find me sketching new ideas, exploring emerging design trends, or mentoring up-and-coming creatives.

Whether it's refining an interface or building a brand from the ground up, I love turning ideas into cohesive, engaging experiences. I focus on bridging design and development, making sure every detail—from typography to interaction—feels intentional. Let's build something meaningful together.
