Calista Mateuszczyk

I'm a product designer with experience across enterprise tools, design systems, and consumer apps built for high-stakes contexts — financial decisions at USAA and New York Life, logistics infrastructure for the United Nations.

I tend to start in the constraints. Regulatory requirements, legacy component libraries, low-connectivity environments, live customer service calls — those are the conditions where design decisions actually matter, and where generic solutions fall apart fastest.

My background spans both sides of the product org: I've done end-to-end UX on 0→1 consumer flows and owned component-level design systems work inside a 200-person design org. I'm most effective when I'm close to the people I'm designing for and the engineers I'm handing off to.

Currently open to full-time senior IC or lead roles in product design — particularly in fintech, enterprise tools, or mission-driven product.
