Joaquin Kunkel
Product Designer, Wearables at Meta
United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoaquin Kunkel is a product designer specializing in wearables with nine years of experience blending front-end engineering and UX design to ship cross-platform products. He has driven end-to-end feature design and React implementations at startups and scale-ups—boosting conversions, unifying design systems, and delivering $150K ARR features—while mentoring engineers on accessibility and component-driven UI. Joaquin’s background in computer science and art practice gives him a rare mix of technical rigor and visual craft, evident in his work from Chrome extensions to animated Figma prototypes. Now at Meta on wearables, he brings hands-on frontend chops (Redux, React, responsive design) and user research experience to hardware-adjacent product problems. An understated strength is his history of owning both code and UX, enabling rapid, test-driven iterations that close the loop between design, implementation, and metrics.
