Summary
Brad Siefert is a Lead Product Designer and Design Technologist with 9 years of experience crafting WCAG-compliant design systems and production UIs that bridge Figma and front-end code. He has led modernization efforts across enterprise stacks—designing tokens and 30+ components in Figma and partnering with engineers to implement them in React, .NET, PHP, and Angular. Equally comfortable prototyping in Figma and shipping components in Storybook, he focuses on practical documentation and developer-friendly systems that scale across legacy products. Brad teaches and applies AI-enhanced design workflows (MCP tools and Claude Code) to speed prototyping and implementation. Based in Chicago, he brings a pragmatic blend of design and engineering fluency informed by years building data-driven interfaces. Off hours he channels his visual sensibility into photography—shooting roughly 25,000 photos a year—and enjoys biking, lake swims, and catching Oscar contenders.
