My name is Matt Gallagher 👋
I'm a lifelong creator who's always looking to increase efficiency for myself and those around me. Specifically, I am...
A Design Systems Lead
- Desktop and mobile component library management
- Color, typography, and spacing tokens that align design with dev
- Large scale system work supporting hundreds of designers
A Product Designer
- User interfaces, experiences, and all the madness in between
- User task streamlining and complex process optimization
- Efficient designs curating large data sets into approachable interfaces
A Design Tooling Expert
- Bulk file and library transfers from Sketch into Figma
- Educational demos, working sessions, and tutorials for coworkers
- My Cisco team nicknamed me "FigMatt" (not sponsored... yet)
A Human Person with Interests
- Music, lots of music. I like all genres except the ones I don't.
- Games, both digital and tabletop. The more players the better!
- Snowboarding & longboarding. Walking is overrated.
