Summary
Chandler Van De Water is a Senior Design Engineer with 11 years of experience blending product design, typography, and JavaScript to craft polished, user-focused interfaces. He’s held senior and principal roles at companies like FullStory and RudderStack, leading both design direction and front-end engineering for data- and commerce-focused products. Chandler’s background includes launching a consumer social product as a co-founder and driving grocery ecommerce design for ASDA at Walmart, showing he moves comfortably between startup scrappiness and large-scale retail programs. Known for an eye for typographic detail and a playful description—“I color pictures for the internet”—he brings visual craft to production-quality code. Based in Greenville, SC, he pairs a marketing BA from Clemson with hands-on leadership that bridges design systems, accessibility, and front-end architecture. Non-obvious: he frequently combines product design ownership with implementation, shipping features end-to-end rather than handoffs between teams.
