Matt Walkley
Design leader. Systems thinker. Builder.
I'm a designer who finds energy in early-stage ambiguity. When things are messy and undefined, I bring clarity and structure. At Built Technologies, I was the early product designer who helped shape the foundation for what became a platform powering over $300 billion in real estate finance.
I care deeply about craft, but I also care that things work. I prototype in code, collaborate closely with engineers, and think in systems built to last. Whether working on zero-to-one products, design systems, or platform workflows, I aim to build with care, earn trust, and move the work forward.
