# Jesse Rego > Senior Product Designer at Workday Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/jesserego I specialize in building and scaling design systems that power core platforms. I've led successful system rollouts at Workday and Barnes & Noble, and started in fast-paced e-commerce, print, and video for the powersports space. My focus is helping teams modernize their design frameworks. Migrating legacy UI into flexible, reusable components that enable faster delivery and unlock the full potential of AI-driven experiences.
