Top SchoolJackson Barnes is an Austin-based founder and principal designer with 8 years of experience building AI-native products, immersive XR systems, and production-ready software. He blends hands-on engineering and UX-led strategy to help startups and DoD clients ship everything from AI-enabled design systems and in-editor media agents to untethered AR/VR training platforms. At AIVideo he scaled revenue rapidly and shipped novel features like a multi-panel AI editor, persistent prompt workflows, and an AI Character Builder; at Booz Allen he prototyped cloud-edge XR and human-digital twin solutions that earned a Technical Excellence Award. Comfortable across Figma, Next.js, Unity, and modern stacks, he crafts design systems that resolve tokens into live products and mentors teams to adopt design-first engineering practices. Spatial intelligence and creative prototyping are recurring themes—he describes himself as a “spatial intelligence alchemist” who translates experimental tech into measurable business outcomes.
