Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJennie Y is a hybrid design engineer and principal design system leader with 15+ years of experience building scalable design systems, front-end architectures, and cohesive design documentation for teams at Atlassian, Udacity, and now Snowflake. She combines an engineering mindset with a designer’s eye to lead large cross-disciplinary teams, having guided a 60+ member craft across 500+ designers and 1,500 engineers to modernize a decade-old system at Atlassian. Jennie has driven measurable adoption and ROI—rebuilding documentation into a unified source of truth that reached 40K MAU and creating Veritas at Udacity, which was adopted across 28 projects within six months. She’s strong at operationalizing design systems: design tokens, theming, automated release workflows, and tooling that shrink time-to-product for makers. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, she’s equally likely to be iterating on a component library as she is propagating plants or customizing the little details that make systems feel human.
