About Jonathan Ruiz
Lead Instructor, UX Design at BrainStation
Design Manager. Educator. Community Builder.
Hi, I'm Jonathan. A designer who leads, a leader who still designs, and someone who believes the best products come from the best teams. After a decade spanning Shazam, Glint, and Docusign, I now run the design team behind Ink, Docusign's design system. I teach, mentor, and help build the design community in Miami because I genuinely love this craft and the people in it.
Outside of work I'm a husband, a dad of two, and a bass player. Faith keeps me grounded, family keeps me honest, and a good workout or a trail run clears my head. Always open to connecting, whether to talk design systems, leadership, vibe coding, or just to say hey.
