About Gabriel Quinones

Currently, I’ve been with Salesforce as a Sr. UX Architect in the Experience Design Groups (XD) for the past 3 years. I am reaching out to innovative companies that I wish to support and grow within their ecosystem for many years to come. I am a problem solver by nature and a hyper creative person. I also use Design Thinking principles to launch Enterprise-Level Design Solutions. I am a Certified SAFe 4 Agilist and Luma Certified Practitioner with over 15 years of proven design, leadership, and team-building experience within the Communications, Automotive, and CRM software Industries. The information architecture and design skills I have honed over the course of my career serve me daily. I advocate research and agile lean project management to produce insightful UX solutions. I design software focused on mobile, web and desktop platforms. I employ Research, IA, Journey Maps, Process Flows, Wireframes, High-Resolution Mockups and Prototypes to test, validate and provide value to the organizations I support. I use industry-standard tools such as Figma, Adobe CC, Sketch, Axure, Mural, Miro, and Lucid among others.My career highlights include successfully launching UX enhanced design solutions for Salesforce, Government Public Sector, Business.att.com, Firstnet, John Hancock and Cox Automotive. Among various high profile projects I’ve shipped included producing key Finance & Insurance products for Cox Automotive industry-leading F&I platforms such as Dealertrack. I am also very proud to have led a great team of cross-functional UX Designers to deliver a working User Lifecycle Management framework for FirstNet.com (Powered by AT & T). This is AT & T’s first “Nationwide First Responder Platform”.I lead by example and form relationships based on trust, hard work, and commitment as we work together to ensure the success of our partners. Let me know what needs to be done and I will welcome the opportunity with a smile and a willing spirit.
