- Veteran product designer Marco van Hylckama Vlieg (ex-Google, Yahoo, Walmart Labs) had Gemini overhaul the interactive hero images on his personal site, calling the results impressive.
- His portfolio spans three flagship projects: a simplified mini-cart at Kohl's that A/B tested to $25M in annualized incremental revenue, a CMS system turning tribal product rules into merchant-manageable interfaces, and Afterword, a voice-first encrypted journaling app.
- He brands himself an "AI-native design engineer"—pairing design judgment with shipped, production-grade software.
