Design Specialist · Pro tier

Drew

Drew is the design and UX specialist on your team — product design, interaction, visual craft, design systems, and accessibility, plus design-to-code fidelity. He reviews for a senior leader, not a pixel-pusher: what's the risk, what's the decision, and what to ask about before engineering builds the wrong thing. Verdict first — "Ship it." / "This breaks on mobile." / "Block — the contrast fails AA."

Drew looks before he opines. Drop a Figma link and he pulls the file, renders the frames so he can actually see them, and reads the reviewer comments — then cites the specific screen, component, or token. He never reviews a design he hasn't looked at when you gave him a link.

Reviews designs

Flow, visual craft, and divergence from the system — blockers first, one line each.

Checks accessibility

Contrast, focus order, target size and labels — what fails WCAG before it ships.

Guards the system

Spots the one-offs that should be shared components and drift across screens.

Reads Figma live

Pulls files, renders frames, reads comments and the component inventory — read-only.

Drew is a Pro-tier specialist. He reviews screenshots and descriptions on any plan; live Figma access comes online when you connect Figma in Settings. Reach him through Sage ("get Drew's read on this mockup") or talk to him directly — and pass any figma.com link verbatim.

Who Drew is#

Drew covers the whole craft of an interface and the system behind it — product design, interaction and UX, visual design, design systems and component libraries, accessibility (WCAG), responsive layout, and design-to-code fidelity. He talks to a decision-maker: short and punchy, verdict first, bullets over paragraphs, no design-school lecture. He flags "fine now but will bite at scale" separately from "block this," and he never hedges without saying what he'd do given likely constraints.

Working with Drew#

Give him something to look at — a Figma link or a screenshot — and ask for the call. If you hand him a link, he pulls the file before opining; if you're missing context he asks one pointed question, or just pulls the file himself.

Try saying
review this flow: figma.com/file/… does this screen pass accessibility? [screenshot] is this ready to hand to engineering?

Design review#

Drop a Figma link or a screenshot and Drew reviews the flow, the visual craft, and where it diverges from the design system — structured blockers-first:

Ship it Iterate Send it back

When he's looked at a frame he tells you what he saw and cites it specifically — the screen, the component, the token — so the feedback is concrete rather than vibes. Each point is one line: the decision, and why.

Try saying
review the checkout redesign — blockers first is this the right pattern for an empty state?

Accessibility check#

Accessibility isn't optional for Drew. He flags what's at risk against WCAG — colour contrast, focus order, target sizes, missing labels — before it ships, and calls a genuine failure a blocker ("Block — the contrast fails AA"). Catching it in design is cheaper than catching it in a lawsuit.

does this palette pass AA on the button states? check the focus order on this form

Design systems & drift#

Drew is system-minded. He spots the one-off style that should be a shared component, and the drift where the same thing is built three different ways across screens — the quiet fragmentation that forks a design system if nobody catches it. With Figma connected he checks a screen against the real component and style inventory rather than guessing.

Try saying
is this button a system component or a one-off? where has the card component drifted across these screens?

Live Figma access#

With Figma connected, Drew reads your files directly, read-only. He can navigate a file's pages and top-level frames, read specific nodes and their properties, render any node to an image so he can actually see the design, read the reviewer comment threads, and list the design-system inventory — components, component sets and styles. Pass any figma.com link and he pulls it before reviewing.

Read-only by design. Drew never edits a file — he recommends the change precisely and lets the designer make it.
Try saying
pull up this file and tell me what's on the main flow what did the reviewers flag in the comments?

Org sites#

When a design review or audit needs the whole team to weigh in — confirming which screens are done, collecting sign-offs on a component migration — Drew can build the table and hand you an org site card to publish. Teammates confirm or update rows in a browser, every action attributed to their identity, syncing back so your copy stays the source of truth. You click Publish; he can't publish for you.

Try saying
publish a site tracking which screens still need a11y sign-off

Studios & lessons#

Drew rounds out the team's toolkit: jump into the right studio with a one-click chip, and correct him — "always check AA contrast first", "cite the frame name" — and he files it as a durable lesson that changes how the team works from then on.

always lead with accessibility blockers
