Top SchoolGareth Hobbs is a Lead Product Designer based in New York with nearly a decade of design experience and a strong focus on native mobile and responsive web UX for mission-driven products. He currently leads UX for BLADE and Strata Critical Medical, where he’s mapped complex booking, scheduling, and organ-transport workflows, expanded a cross-platform design system with 40+ components, and cut critical task times through focused IA and operational UX. Gareth’s background in theatre and sound design informs his approach to immersive, human-centered experiences and practical systems thinking for high-stakes workflows. He’s driven measurable outcomes—like a 40% uplift in user testing for higher-ed pages and a ~30% reduction in task time for transplant teams—while partnering closely with engineering, PMs, and ops to ship accessible, production-ready interfaces. Always curious, he enjoys solving puzzles and building products from the ground up that make complex user journeys feel simple.
