Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRebecca Ruvalcaba is a junior product manager based in Paris with nine years of cross-disciplinary experience blending design, games, and interactive hardware. Trained at Parsons and Institut Polytechnique de Paris (MS in Interaction, Graphics and Design, 3.9 GPA), she brings a rare mix of creative product intuition and rigorous technical grounding. Her background includes user-facing roles at Google, game development, and research assistance, and she currently shapes product at ZANZOON after progressing from product development assistant. Rebecca is known for making playful, tactile experiences—games, toys, and interactive hardware—that prioritize user delight and accessibility. She studied games development abroad in Limerick and maintains a hacker-designer identity (self-described “cat-loving sarape hacker”) that keeps her work curious and hands-on. Colleagues describe her as energetic, detail-oriented, and unusually comfortable bridging studio design practice with formal CS research.
