Steven Gianakouros

As a designer, coach, and advisor, I provide user experience and creative direction and feedback, set quality standards, and contribute to product and company strategies. My responsibilities also include building and mentoring design teams and collaborating highly with product management, engineering, marketing, and business partners.

Previously, I was VP of Design at Magic and Vista. I spent over seven years at Netflix in various roles, including leading the design strategy and execution of their global branding system and driving the initial Originals promotion experiences. I have also served as a Design Director at Wealthfront and Mint.com, where I designed and led teams to create intuitive and user-friendly experiences for personal finance. Earlier in my career, I progressed from a designer to a creative director in digital marketing and brand agencies.

In addition to my professional work, I serve on the Advisory Board of KinoSaito, an art center dedicated to nurturing experimentation in abstract art.

My passion lies in collaborating with creative people to bring innovative products, experiences, and brands to life.
