# Arturo Tejeda, CPACC > Staff Product Designer · AI-Assisted Systems · Accessibility (CPACC) · Design Systems Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/arturotejedacpacc I’m a Staff Product Designer with 12+ years of experience designing enterprise and platform products across fintech and cloud infrastructure. My work focuses on design systems, accessibility, and building scalable, behavior-driven interfaces. Most recently, I shipped Access Lens, a public beta product that helps designers surface accessibility risk early, before UI and code decisions harden. I led the product end to end, defining the narrative, scope, system constraints, interaction model, and production-ready UI, while collaborating through live coding and iterative QA. I specialize in AI-assisted design workflows where systems thinking matters more than polish. Rather than treating accessibility as a checklist, I design it as a first-class system constraint, balancing trust, clarity, and real-world limitations. Previously, I led and contributed to large-scale design systems at VMware and Wells Fargo, helping teams align on accessible patterns, interaction standards, and design–engineering handoff. I’m CPACC-certified and experienced working in highly regulated environments. I’m currently focused on roles where designers are expected to ship, exercise judgment, and work closely with engineering on AI-native or platform products. ## Work Experience ### Founder / Product Designer — Access Lens (Public Beta) @ Access Lens Jan 2025 – Present Built and shipped Access Lens, an AI-assisted accessibility risk discovery tool for designers.
