Ryan Sheridan

Principal Designer, Design Systems

I lead design systems and web experience at Commerce, the parent company of BigCommerce. Over the past eight years, I've built and scaled brand systems, marketing sites, and design infrastructure across multiple brands. I like working in the space between design and engineering, turning ideas into systems that are clear, flexible, and built to last.

I like to build fast. I'm diving headfirst into AI tools and increasingly use them throughout my process, from research and exploration to design, prototyping, and code. It lets me stay hands-on with the work while spending more time on the details that matter.

I studied at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, and I'm based in Austin, Texas.
