# Oscar Lozano

> Staff Product Designer, design engineer, and systems thinker based in London.

Oscar builds products people (and agents) love — with a deep appreciation for well-crafted interfaces, cohesive brands, and thoughtful software. He brings a keen eye for clean, functional design across both product and brand experiences.

Domains of expertise: AI-native systems, developer tools, agentic interfaces, decentralised applications (DeFi), creative coding, design systems, and brand design.

Open to high-impact Staff Product Designer, Design Engineer, or Founding Designer roles at the intersection of design and engineering — especially in AI, developer tools, or decentralised systems.
