Ryan Sheridan
Principal Designer, Design Systems
I lead design systems and web experience at Commerce, the parent company of BigCommerce. Over the past eight years I've built and scaled brand systems, marketing sites, and design infrastructure across multiple brands. I care about the work that sits between design and engineering — the tokens, the governance, the rules that make a system hold up at scale.
Before that I was a visual and UI designer at BigCommerce and TicketCity. I studied at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. I'm based in the Austin area.
