Jacob Galito | Senior  Designer

I work across multiple Navy-related products with a primary focus on 3D model optimization, texturing, animation, and real-time asset development. I also became the design lead on a Navy contract, which included on-site visits for photo documentation, LiDAR capture, and photogrammetry work to accelerate and strengthen our 3D production pipeline. My UI/UX contributions have been limited so far, aside from designing iconography and supporting visual consistency across team deliverables.

As a Transtecs subcontractor, I was the sole UI/UX designer on a Navy contract, leading discovery, mind-mapping, noun-forging information architecture, wireframing, accessibility audits for improvements to meet AA WICG standards, and full interface design for simulation-based applications. I built the design system, created iconography, and delivered high-fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes that guided development and aligned cross-functional teams. Alongside the UX work, I served as a senior 3D model designer, developing complex real-time assets and mentoring peers and junior designers throughout the project.

As a Senior Product Designer, I've work on more than 10 internal and external projects through various phases including RFPs, discovery, wireframing, high fidelity design, and prototyping. I've also maintained multiple websites using Webflow and Plasmic, and led a small team on 3D projects using three.js, A-frame, and React-three/fiber.

As a freelance Senior Product Designer, my expertise spanned wireframing, high-fidelity responsive design, interactive prototyping, illustration, and 3D scene creation. I excelled in texture reprojection, UV mapping, and exporting the scene to integration into the react-three/fiber environments. My diverse skill set enabled me to deliver captivating and immersive design solutions for the client's marketing website experience.

As the Creative Director, I spearheaded the design team as the lead Product Designer, driving the exploration of innovative solutions to meet stakeholders' goals. By utilizing wireframing, developing high-fidelity designs, and conducting prototyping, I played a pivotal role in delivering user-centric experiences. Additionally, I leveraged my expertise in creating and optimizing 3D models, UVs, textures, and photogrammetry to enhance augmented reality solutions for web, iOS, and Android platforms. Through my strategic leadership and hands-on approach, I ensured the successful execution of projects that seamlessly merged design excellence with cutting-edge technology.

As a  Mid-level UI Designer, I worked closely with design and development teams to deliver exceptional solutions that aligned with the business goals of internal stakeholders and clients. Through meticulous wireframing, crafting high-fidelity designs, and conducting interactive prototyping, I played a pivotal role in translating complex requirements into visually captivating and intuitive user interfaces. By fostering effective communication and leveraging the expertise of cross-functional teams, I ensured the seamless integration of design and development processes, resulting in the successful realization of innovative and impactful digital experiences.
