# KP Pelleg > Talk to me about design systems Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/kp Making digital products more than just beautiful. My Core Strengths: -- Visual Design -- Content Strategy -- UX Research & Design I have degrees in Fine Arts and Anthropology. UX research and design couples these two passions into one career. Great design is a negotiation between dreamers, users, and engineers and I help bridge the gap between the dreamable and achievable. Get in touch if you need help with your interface or web design. I love solving complex problems. Additionally, I get excited about social justice and environmental sustainability. I am interested in developing programs engaging the public with arts, culture, and sciences in Austin. ## Work Experience ### Staff Product Designer @ One Medical Jan 2022 – Present | Austin, Texas, United States Led a design systems internal rebrand and exploration into a global product design system and shared operations between care team and member experiences; Accountable for RNA React & Angular creative direction, component libraries, roadmap, and documentation; Partnering with product teams to drive design system adoption, contribution, and maintenance initiatives; Driving a 3 year frontend & design systems plan to support information architecture initiative; Defining research-backed care team personas and JTBD framework to support major company growth initiatives; ### Senior Product Designer @ One Medical Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Austin, Texas, United States Key owner of the 1Life design system, used by 5 product teams consisting of engineers, product managers, and designers; Created foundational documentation for 1Life design system so that designers and engineers could onboard with ease and access guidelines for how to apply styles like color, font, grid & spacing, content, and icons; Oversaw style variables project for the major frontends within the Care Team tools which created consistency within the experience; Consulted in migration projects from one component library to a new component library; Led a design system guild between One Medical Member (patient) and Care Team user experiences ### Sr. Product Designer @ Kazoo Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Austin, Texas, United States ### Product Designer @ Kazoo Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Austin, Texas Area Worked on a design system audit for mobile and web platforms; Created design requirements & handoff tickets for an engineering backlog combining two user experiences through a major M&A and rebrand; Paired with multiple product teams to design administrative dashboard for B2B Employee Experience platform; Partnered with designers and design leadership to create UX testing & research standards, templates, and guidelines ### Product Design and Marketing Manager @ Sherpa Digital Media Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Remote - Austin, TX Evolved Sherpa’s visual identity and corporate tone by redesigning the website which immediately reduced bounce rate by 11% Creating a product design strategy and workflow that responds to use-cases, client feedback, and market positioning Delivering sales and marketing content for major product releases by managing copywriters, illustrators, and web developers ### Product Designer @ Sherpa Digital Media Jan 2017 – Jan 2019 | Redwood City, California Designed UIs and features for Enterprise Video as a Service (VaaS) platform Built & maintained the design library & UI for core product environment Created a Product Steering Commitee and Customer Advisory board to formalize our UX research and review processes ### User Experience Designer @ CoDA Center for Digital Archaeology Jan 2015 – Jan 2017 | 555 Northgate Dr, San Rafael, CA Designed cultural heritage web projects & training programs Led over 36 projects through discovery and design phases, overseeing design end-to-end Raised $500,000+ in new project sales by leveraging UX methods to re-design pitch and strategy pipeline Designed and managed an open source software & cut the average churn rate by approximately 50% ### Media Producer @ CoDA Center for Digital Archaeology Jan 2013 – Jan 2014 | UC Berkeley, 2224 Piedmont Ave, I create and manage content for archaeological and cultural heritage project CMS's (Content Management Systems).

I loved the challenge and dynamic! ### Shift Supervisor @ Peet's Coffee & Tea Jan 2011 – Jan 2013 | 1776 4th Street, Berkeley CA My career in coffee, not just at Peets but for 7 years prior to 2013, prepared me in many ways for the world of creative services. To excel, especially in a managerial position, you had to be skilled at your craft, knowledgeable of your product, efficient, and friendly to even the most difficult people. Peets especially gave me formal training for conflict resolution, and active listening and engagement in difficult situations. With every batch of coffee, Peets roasters shared its origin story. Storytelling and excellence have been key drivers of Peets' success and I happily represented that brand every time I worked a shift. But I do appreciate not smelling of coffee all day. ### Hospitality Representative, Tasting Room @ St. Francis Winery & Vineyards Jan 2009 – Jan 2011 ## Education ### Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Anthropology University of California, Berkeley ### Associate of Arts (AA) in Art/Art Studies, General Santa Rosa Junior College ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/kelleypelleg - Portfolio: https://Kelleypelleg.com --- Source: https://flows.cv/kp JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/kp/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-31
