Cody Walton is a Creative Director and design system advocate who has been obsessing over pixels since the late 90s. With a career that has spanned the agency scenes of New York City and Los Angeles before returning to Texas, he has led global launches for Fortune 500s and built scalable UI frameworks for fast-growing startups. A self-described "T-shaped" creative, Cody balances deep UI expertise with a broad mastery of branding and digital strategy—or as he puts it, "If it’s ever been on a screen, I’ve probably designed for it".

When he isn’t refining Figma components or mentoring design teams, Cody is likely indulging his fascination for mid-90s internet culture or curating his collection of vinyl records.
