Gabriela Gabriel is a Design Systems Manager based in Paris with 11 years of experience blending front-end engineering and DesignOps to deliver consistent, high-quality user experiences. She has led design system initiatives at Renault Digital and now drives strategic design-system adoption at Thiga, focusing on rituals, tooling, and a culture of contribution that accelerates product delivery. Former roles as a lead software engineer and senior front-end engineer (TheFork, BlaBlaCar) give her a strong engineering lens on UI, code, and scalability. She also teaches design systems, mentoring the next generation to think systemically about design from planning through deployment. Known for harmonizing brand, UX and engineering needs, she brings a pragmatic, coach-first approach to building cross-functional teams. Off-duty she’s “living la vie en rose,” a hint at a creative, human-centered sensibility behind her technical rigor.
