About Matt
I'm Matt Kane, a creative technologist with a background in product design, interactive real-time experiences, and developer tooling. I've worked across SaaS, mobile apps, and web in finance, healthcare, sports science, museum tech, and VFX/VR.
I lead design systems and product strategy, scaling design quality and enabling teams to ship with consistency and clarity.
In my spare time I'm a photographer, read many books, and have been a New York Knicks fan my entire life (yes, even through the bad years).

My journey
2022–present
JP Morgan & Chase Co.
VP, User Experience Design Lead
January 2022 – present • New York, USA
- Built Argus, a Claude skill automating design-to-code QA across BaseUI/ShadCN/Tailwind implementations; enables designers to ship production-quality features with reduced code review cycles and accessibility violations.
- Modernized legacy Asset Wealth Management applications by establishing cohesive end-to-end design vision and implementing into unified platform; transformed 15+ fragmented experiences into accessible, pattern-driven products that maintained consistency despite limited design resources.
- Led organization-wide adoption of AI-assisted design, training 20+ designers on Claude Code, Skills, and MCP agents; established repeatable workflows for prompt-driven prototyping and component generation, reducing design-to-implementation time by 30%.
- Integrated accessibility-first design systems strategy, establishing focus states, token-driven components, and WCAG compliance standards across all products, embedding accessibility as a core design principle, not an afterthought.
- Established visual design language for AI-assisted features such as prefills, generated content, and affordances, ensuring AI interactions feel natural, trustworthy, and cohesive across the platform.
- Manage a team of 4 designers who help maintain the design system.
