Dustin MartinkaSystems-Driven Product Design Leader

Seattle.

I believe good design starts with great people and strong systems.

When teams feel trusted, clear, and supported, they do their best work. When design has structure and narrative, it scales.

 

I’ve led teams through ambiguity, re-orgs, and high-pressure launches by bringing clarity to messy problem spaces and aligning work around real users and long-term impact. I’m calm under pressure, direct in feedback, and deeply invested in helping designers grow into the next version of themselves.

 

Over the years, I’ve strengthened how design operates across complex organizations, elevated designers into senior and principal roles, and helped shift design from execution partner to strategic voice.

 

I believe in steady leadership. No ego. Thoughtful direction. I don’t always have all the answers, but I’ll ask the right questions and help the team find the path forward together.
