About Jay Smith
Principal UX, Design Systems at REI
Principle UX Designer at your favorite outdoor cooperative. I'm working to move design decisions from concept to code at the speed of "what if...".
...
I’m a curiosity-lead design leader focused on delivering accessible, cohesive, and impactful experiences at an enterprise scale. I believe in using collaboration and technology to automate key aspects of digital production—enabling teams to apply more cognitive effort towards innovation and experimentation.
I’d love to connect and talk about the future of design systems.
