I’ve worked closely with Robert on building out key features to our product using his excellent designs. Robert is always looking for ways to understand the product from an engineering perspective in order to align his designs accordingly. Additionally he is always looking for ways to modify his designs so they are accessible across all platforms for all edge cases. On top of Roberts design expertise he is also very personable and is a great teammate to have on your side. Robert is an excellent addition to any company looking to recruit top design talent

Chris Weekley

Product Leader

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Robert for nearly a year on the GoFan product at PlayOn. While working with Robert, I was constantly impressed by his ability to push the boundaries of design and what the fan experience truly could be. Without question, Robert is a visionary and creative designer at heart. At the same time, he was always willing to adjust and take feedback on feasibility and create multiple iterations of designs that could get us from 0 to 1 in bite-sized increments.

If you’re looking for a Product Designer who can give you both a big picture vision of what your product could be while working diligently to take the small, incremental steps required to get there, Robert is your guy. I’d work with him again in a heartbeat!

Martin Rojas

UI Architect

It is my pleasure to highly recommend Robert Gallo. As a Software Architect at PlayOn Sports, I worked closely with Robert for nearly two years. His strategic leadership and design expertise on the GoFan products consistently impressed me.

Robert demonstrates true design leadership that extends beyond just pixels and prototypes. He was passionate about elevating the entire UX group by creating systems to guide their thinking and by actively teaching new concepts. His leadership in driving conversations about creating scalable and maintainable design systems was particularly valuable from my perspective as an architect, as it showed a deep understanding of long-term product health.

I was particularly impressed by his work leading the complete redesign of GoFan’s core ticket purchasing flow. Furthermore, he owned the critical ‘Box Office’ point-of-sale application, used for scanning tickets and selling concessions at events. His commitment to owning the end-to-end journey—from the fan’s initial purchase to the school’s event-day management—was instrumental in creating a seamless experience for all users. Throughout these complex projects, he fostered a fantastic collaborative relationship with the development team.

Robert’s strategic UX work was a clear driver of GoFan’s success, which hosted over 259,000 events and saw 23% year-over-year growth during his tenure. He is a rare talent who combines strategic leadership with hands-on design skill and a clear focus on business results. Robert would be an invaluable asset to any product organization.

He’s endlessly curious, technically savvy, and a power user of all design tools. Robert is always finding new ways to elevate UX practice. Because he’s thoughtful, genuinely kind with skills and capabilities that bring immense value to any team fortunate enough to work with him, I highly recommend him.
