Matt Walkley

Design leader. Systems thinker. Builder.



I'm a designer who finds energy in ambiguity. When things are messy and undefined, I bring clarity and structure. Most recently, I was the early product designer at Built Technologies, where I 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.

On any given day you can find me working on:

Product Design

End-to-end user experience design, from concept to reality

Design Systems

Scalable components and UI foundations

0→1 Initiatives

Structure and momentum in ambiguous spaces

Coded Prototypes

Functional, React-based prototypes that work

Systems Thinking

Clarity across complex products and platforms

Product & Design Advisory

Helping teams level up UX and product maturity

Case Studies

These case studies show how I've tackled tough problems, partnered across teams, and shaped solutions that moved both the business and the product forward.
