Who is Ty?
I'm not for everyone.
I come in and find the sacred cows. The processes nobody questions because that's how it's always been done. The silos that slow everything down. The assumptions baked into the product that nobody has tested in three years.
Then I eat them.
Not because I enjoy the chaos (well... maybe a little), but because I've seen what happens when a team actually moves together. When design, engineering, and product stop throwing things over walls and start building in the same room. When the feedback that's been sitting in a spreadsheet for six months finally becomes a decision.
Along the way I'm going to make you laugh. We're going to skip the small talk and get into the stuff that actually matters. The weird ideas, the honest conversations, the questions nobody else wants to ask out loud.
Fair warning though. It's going to shake. We're headed through reentry and I'm going to be the one pointing at a star that isn't on the chart yet.
Sometimes that's uncomfortable. It's never not been worth it.
I've done most of it without the title that matched the scope.
Nobody asked me to build the design system. Leadership didn't want it, so I built it in Figma anyway and let the speed make the argument. Design reviews went from days to fifteen minutes. Nobody asked for the pipeline from design system to prototype to production code either. I just kept finding the thing that was broken and fixing it.
I came in as a Senior. When our VP of Design was let go, I picked up brand and mentorship on top of my own work and kept the title I walked in with.
Shipped AI products. Ran org-wide research nobody asked for. Mentored five designers who went on to do great work.
If you want someone to keep the seat warm and ship tickets, I'm not your person.
If you want someone who will figure out what's actually broken and fix it, let's talk.
