Hello, my name is
Tyler Mathes.
I solve problems through design, AI + code.
I'm a design systems lead and product designer for early-stage AI, fintech, and healthcare teams. I'm currently building out Figma libraries and tools for the Manhattan Design System at J.P. Morgan Chase.
About Me
Hi, I'm Tyler—a senior product designer specializing in scalable design systems that work across enterprise organizations.
I've designed intuitive hotel websites at a boutique agency, transformed complex call center workflows for a major health insurer, and architected internal design tools for thousands of users at a Fortune 500 financial institution. Each experience reinforced my belief that thoughtful design systems create alignment and impact at scale.
Today, I focus on building future-proof systems at the intersection of design and engineering—design systems, tokens, and processes that reduce friction and amplify quality. Accessibility and user-centered design are non-negotiable.
When I'm not designing, you'll find me at TIAA Bank Field cheering on the Jaguars, spending time with my son, or exploring sound design on modular synthesizers.
Tools & Systems I work with:
- Figma
- Design Tokens
- Zeroheight
- AI Design Tools
- Style Dictionary
- Material UI
