Taylor D. DeweyHead of Design

Résumé

Design’s medium has shifted from pixels to code. The goal hasn’t changed: great experiences for real people. But with generative AI, I now work across the whole product lifecycle, from strategy and research to prototypes, design reviews in pull requests, and production code. I’ve spent 14 years designing digital products, and I build the process that lets a small design team move at the pace of engineering.

Experience

Head of Design, Uniform · Feb 2022 – Present
Uniform is a composable digital experience platform for web teams. I lead product design, and since 2025 most of that work has been the AI layer: bringing agentic features into an established product so teams actually get something out of AI.

  • Built our design harness (design systems, documentation, agent skills, and the workflow around them) so designers prototype and ship in production code
  • Cut median brief-to-launch time 65%, from 221 to 78 days
  • Took the design team from 1 merged PR to 34 in the first year, taking UX work off engineering’s plate
  • Moved design reviews into pull requests, with about 9× more PRs reviewed by design

UX Director, 10up · Apr 2012 – July 2021
Previously UI Engineer and Web Design Engineer

  • Created the UX discipline at 10up: designed the process, championed it internally and with sales, and grew the team to about a dozen UX and content designers, including three full-time senior designers
  • Helped sales craft pitches and shape the approach for UX projects
  • Identified opportunities for ML classifier models (pre-generative AI) to speed editorial workflow and governance, which led to ClassifAI, a WordPress plugin that applies rich taxonomic data to content
  • Served as leadership sponsor for three ongoing accounts, growing them in scope and revenue
  • Mentored UX designers; people from other disciplines also sought ongoing one-on-ones under my open-door policy
  • Led hands-on client work and workshops on information architecture, research, content modeling, wireframes, and user testing
