Angel J. Sánchez
Head of Design who still designs
Professional Summary
Head of Design who still designs. 14 years in B2B SaaS. I lead design teams, simplify complex products, and build AI-ready design systems that turn design into production code. Led the unification of four Audiense products into one app and shipped Titan v2, which takes a standard screen from brief to reviewed pull request in about 40 minutes.
Experience
- • Grew the team to 4 designers and 2 interns, all hired from my paid internship. After a 2026 reorg, lead 2 designers across 3 product areas. Design-ready tickets 55% → 92%; nobody quit since 2020.
- • Led design of Audience Intelligence App: 4 products into one shell and one report model. Days to first report 3.2 → 0.9; cross-channel reports 6% → 27%; navigation tickets −38%.
- • Shipped Titan v2, an AI-ready design system: tokens, CSS-layer isolation, Storybook, and rules agents read via MCP. Standard screen ~3 days → ~40 min; 86% of UI from system components.
- • Started as the only designer; launched a paid internship and made the first two hires from it. One UX standard across 7 products and 4 brands. Led Titan v1: 200+ components, ~40% faster design to dev.
Selected Work
