Product Engineer

Hi, I'm Jamie Gray

I'm a designer who abandoned Figma. Now I design directly in front-end code, eliminating handoffs, speeding up iteration, and keeping design systems honest.

The Problem

Most teams have the same inefficiencies.

Rebuild from Scratch

Designers iterate in Figma while engineers rebuild from scratch

Lost in Translation

Details get lost in translation, microinteractions get cut

System Drift

Design systems drift from implementation

QA as Last Defense

QA becomes the last line of defense for UI consistency

Disconnected Workflow

Iteration slows because design and code are disconnected

Wasted Cycles

Same components get rebuilt across teams, nobody owns the source of truth

My Approach

I delete the handoff. Design and code live together, always.

Real Code Prototypes

Rapid prototyping with real working code, rather than Figma prototypes

React-Native Design System

Design system built directly in React

Components as Spec

Components are the spec, not screenshots

Tokens in Code

Tokens, spacing, typography, motion live in code

System-Enforced Consistency

UI consistency enforced by the system, not QA

Instant Feedback

Stakeholders review live UI, not static mockups—feedback is immediate and actionable

Strong Scaffolding, Maximum Flexibility

The same semantic components render beautifully across any visual aesthetic. Visual redesigns become theme swaps, not rewrites.

Who This Is For

I'm looking to join:

  • Engineering-led teams tired of design–engineering friction
  • Teams that want a designer who ships code, not mockups
  • Teams that value velocity, consistency, and ownership
  • Teams building products where the design system actually matters

Experience

Teams I've worked on in the past.

Let's Work Together

I'm currently looking for a full-time Product Engineer role where I can own the design system and ship UI that works. I'd love to chat!

Design systems belong in Git, not Figma.
