Hi, my name is

Mathew Navarro

I'm a product designer

I design products from the research up: interviews and journey maps first, then design systems and prototypes I put in front of real people. Right now I evaluate AI model outputs at Meta, through TEKsystems.

Featured · Live client product

Medical evidence, designed for the people who served.

I designed and built the entire digital presence for a veteran-focused Nexus letter and DBQ exam provider in Northern Nevada, solo: brand, accessible design system, HIPAA-conscious platform and a zero-ad-spend growth plan.

The Elite Exams homepage: emergency notice, navy header, the headline 'Medical Documentation to Support Your VA Claim', and service cards

What I owned:

  • Brand
  • Design system
  • WCAG 2.1 AA
  • Next.js build
  • HIPAA-conscious intake
  • Growth strategy

How I work

Evidence first, then design, then honest testing.

  1. 01

    Start with people

    Surveys, interviews and journey maps before screens. On GeForce NOW, that's how touch controls, accessibility and settings surfaced as the real problems.

  2. 02

    Give it structure

    Information architecture and scenarios that test whether someone can actually finish a task, like the three resident scenarios behind UniVibe.

  3. 03

    Build the system

    Design systems that keep work consistent and fast, from the WCAG AA system behind Elite Exams to the UI component library I built at the Nevada System of Higher Education.

  4. 04

    Test, then say what changed

    Prototypes in front of real people. When UniVibe testers missed key features, that became the first thing to fix, and it's written into the case study.
