What It Is

giliusb.design is the personal portfolio website of product designer Gilius Blinstrubas. According to the site copy, he is based in Chicago, positions himself as a Product Designer, and has built the site as a “portfolio that feels more like a product”: instead of only reading static case studies, visitors can ask questions in a chat-style interface to learn about his projects, design philosophy, process, and ways of working. The site also lists [email protected] as a contact channel.

Core Capabilities and Project Scope

Based on the crawled content, the site focuses on product design and digital product experience rather than general-purpose design tools. The showcased work includes an internal investment decision-making tool for Initialized Capital, a research workspace for automotive enthusiasts at MotorShed, onboarding experience redesign and design foundation work for ThinkMarkets, and a digital growth project in agriculture for CNH Industrial. His background also includes a master’s degree in Information Design and Strategy from Northwestern University, with a stated concentration in data, which is relevant to the design of internal tools, research workspaces, and complex business interfaces.

Licensing, Pricing, and Collaboration

The site copy does not disclose copyright licensing, project pricing, payment methods, collaboration timelines, or deliverable scope, so it is not possible to assess his service pricing or contract structure. On collaboration, the only clear point is that he currently works as a freelancer with early-stage startups to help solve design challenges. However, the site does not specify whether he supports remote collaboration, which design tools he uses, or whether he offers defined service packages such as design systems, prototypes, user research, or front-end implementation.

Pros and Cons

The main strength is the experimental presentation of the portfolio. The Q&A entry point lowers the effort required for visitors to find information and better reflects a product designer’s understanding of interactive experience. The projects span several business contexts, including finance, investing, automotive, and agriculture, suggesting that his experience is not limited to a single industry. The downside is that the case information available in the crawled copy is relatively high-level, with limited detail on problem definition, design process, measurable results, or client feedback. Teams looking to procure design services would still need to follow up by email to confirm capability boundaries, pricing, and availability.

Who It’s For and Access From China

The site is suitable for early-stage startup teams, companies looking to improve internal tools or B2B product experiences, recruiters, and designers who want inspiration for an interactive portfolio. Access from China cannot be determined from the site copy alone and is marked as unknown. If the site cannot be opened reliably, similar designers can be found via Behance, Dribbble, Read.cv, Contra, or other personal portfolio channels. There is no payment information in the copy, so for cross-border collaboration it is necessary to confirm separately whether credit cards, PayPal, Wise, or bank transfers are supported.
