Hi! I'm Brett Anderson.
Over a decade of experience building & designing digital experiences.
Based in Orange County, CA. I spent a decade at KWALL designing and shipping 180+ web and mobile experiences for clients before moving into product: scaling a design system across 160+ partner sites at Side, then building one from the ground up, without a mandate, across 15+ internal tools at Kroger. Alongside that, I've been the founding product designer at Kivo Health, taking a 0-1 telehealth app from Figma file to production, and more recently pairing Figma with Claude Code to design and ship my own apps solo, including one live on the App Store. I graduated from Laguna College of Art + Design. I like systems that scale and work that's actually shipped, not just handed off.
Giving back
I enjoy creating free assets and games utilizing Figma and its collaborative features.
