# Ayodeji A. > Brand Systems & AI Design Workflows | Meta, MongoDB, Navan, DocuSign Location: Berkeley, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/ayodeji I build brand systems that scale across complexity and establish the AI design workflows that keep teams moving fast without sacrificing craft or coherence. Currently at AppOmni as Senior Visual Designer, I rebuilt the web presence from the ground up. Scroll depth jumped from 10% to 76%, engagement quality increased 38%, and I systematized the brand across Figma so concepts could move from idea to iteration in hours instead of days. Leadership noted I "completely elevated how the company shows up" across web, events, social, sales enablement, and AI-generated content. When budget tightened, I leveraged AI tools already in the stack to maintain a content flywheel at lower cost. Leadership called it "embracing the challenge with the heck out of AI." Before AppOmni, I co-led the opening sequence for Meta Connect 2025's developer keynote through TEKSystems, translating complex XR and AI technology into accessible narrative beats alongside Meta's creative, content, and technical teams. My background spans creative leadership at Secureframe, Navan, MongoDB, DocuSign, and Marriott. Roles where I built modular brand systems, led rebrands, and accelerated creative velocity while maintaining quality. At Navan, I helped build both the travel brand and the fintech brand during a period of rapid scale. What makes my approach different: I treat AI design workflows as infrastructure, not shortcuts. I've established repeatable systems using Runway, Midjourney, Firefly, and ChatGPT that compress exploration timelines, improve concept quality, and enable non-design teams to produce on-brand work independently. I default to governance that enables rather than gatekeeps, and I build design systems as modular products that empower distributed teams. I'm Nigerian-American, a dad, a mentor, and someone who believes psychological safety and generous feedback are essential to great creative cultures. Reach out if you're scaling brand systems, launching products in competitive categories, building creative teams that ship fast without breaking trust, or exploring how AI workflows can amplify your team's capability without diluting quality.
