Summary
🤩
RockstarAdam Ruf is a Staff Product Designer based in Seattle with 15+ years of cross-disciplinary experience designing impactful consumer and enterprise products across mobile, web, and design systems. He has led high-complexity mobile initiatives at Shopify and brightwheel, driving consistency, accessibility, and experimental zero-to-one features like 3D scanning and generative-AI product copy. Adam combines hands-on visual and interaction design with front-end development and a history of teaching, which helps him translate design strategy into shipping, measurable outcomes. He’s comfortable operating in product-engineering-UX trifectas, running empathy-building accessibility tests, and evolving UI kits to boost designer productivity.

Outside product work, his background teaching UX and studying Mandarin and environmental management hints at a curious, human-centered approach to complex problems.
