Michael Freytag is a Principal User Experience Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience building web interfaces and the design systems that connect design and development. Now leading DesignOps tooling, design tokens, and theming at Comcast’s Global Design Engineering team, he focuses on making accessibility the default across component libraries and workflows. His background in graphic design combined with early coding experience gives him a rare fluency across creative and technical constraints, which he leverages to architect component APIs and token structures. Michael builds Figma plugins and web apps to streamline design workflows and often takes on DevOps responsibilities to ensure systems are reliable in practice, not just in spec. He enjoys mentoring engineers and creating tooling that turns good intentions about inclusivity into effortless everyday behavior. Based in Portland, Oregon, he brings a practical, systems-oriented approach to bridging design and development.
