About Cody Walton

If it’s ever been on a screen, I’ve probably designed for it\".I am a Creative Director and Senior UI Designer with over 25 years of experience navigating the evolution of digital design, from the early days of interactive multimedia at The Art Institute of Houston to building scalable design systems for modern B2B SaaS platforms. My career has been forged in the high-pressure agency environments of New York City and Los Angeles, and I currently bring that national perspective to the creative landscape of Houston.I describe my skill set as “T-shaped”: I possess a wide breadth of experience across branding, advertising, and communications, anchored by a deep specialty in UI design that has been my focus since the late \'90s. Whether I’m leading a global product launch for Genentech, optimizing DTC platforms for Gillette, or building reusable UI libraries that cut production turnaround time by 50%, my mission is always to bring clarity and energy to complex challenges.What I bring to the table:• Versatile Leadership: Proven track record of leading cross-functional and offshore teams to deliver brand-consistent campaigns under tight timelines.• Digital Transformation: Experience transitioning traditional print teams into agile, digital-centric creative operations using modern tools like Figma and Sketch.• Systemic Design: Expert at crafting scalable design systems that streamline project delivery from ideation through developer handoff.• Strategic Collaboration: Adept at aligning with C-level leadership and stakeholders to ensure creative execution meets strategic vision.
