About Drew Wittig

I am a design executive with 15+ years leading product design for enterprise SaaS platforms. My work sits at the intersection of product strategy, engineering execution, and design systems that scale across complex organizations. At Magnit I built and led the design organization during a period of platform transformation, modernization, and acquisition. My team helped re-architect core applications across web and mobile, introduced cross-framework design systems, and embedded accessibility governance across the platform.I focus on three areas:• Scaling design organizations • Building platform-level design systems • Driving product strategy alongside engineering and product leadershipMy teams partner deeply with engineering to ensure design is not simply a layer on top of software, but a strategic driver of how products are built and experienced.Highlights:• Led design through a $2.2B company acquisition • Introduced React and Angular design systems used across product teams • Established WCAG accessibility governance and large-scale remediation • Built global design teams embedded across product and engineeringI’m interested in roles where design operates as a strategic function shaping product platforms, AI-driven experiences, and company-wide product strategy.I’m also an artist, and my creative practice keeps me rooted in curiosity, intuition, and flow.
