Summary
Andrew Couldwell is a Principal Product Designer and design-systems specialist with over two decades of experience crafting web and product experiences for startups and Fortune 500 brands from Los Angeles. He blends hands-on front-end development with strategic design leadership—running initiatives at Adobe and WeWork, authoring a book on design systems, and co-founding a company in 2024. His work spans building digital brand guidelines, reusable component libraries, and documented systems that scale across marketing sites, mobile apps, and product suites. Comfortable as a solo practitioner or leading multidisciplinary teams, he’s known for turning complex brand and engineering constraints into pragmatic, engineered design solutions. A Yorkshire native, he brings a studio-to-scale perspective shaped by agency roots and product-led roles, and he frequently pairs design direction with actual code to accelerate delivery.
