Design Engineer

I design and build the interfaces I ship. Trained as an architect, I work where design systems, interaction, and production code meet — where the details that make software feel intentional get decided.

Testimonials

"I had the pleasure of working with Gavin Grant as an engineer at Happy Companies, and I can say without hesitation that he was one of the most professional, reliable, and downright good human beings I’ve had the chance to work alongside. Gavin brought a calm, focused energy to every project — always dependable, always thoughtful, and always two steps ahead in anticipating what was needed. He consistently delivered high-quality work, communicated clearly, and was the kind of teammate who made everyone around him better. Whether navigating complex systems or collaborating cross-functionally, Gavin handled it all with grace, humility, and sharp technical insight. Beyond his engineering chops, Gavin’s character stood out even more. He showed up every day with a great attitude, genuine kindness, and a sense of integrity that you don’t come across often enough."

Let's Connect

Looking for someone who can design an interface and then build it? I work as a design engineer: design systems, interaction and motion, accessibility, and the production code underneath — the thinking and the shipping in one place, without a handoff in between.

I'm especially drawn to products where design craft, interface architecture, and emerging technology come together.

I'm open to Design Engineer and UX Engineer roles.
