welcome

I'm Travis Dykes, a design leader with a passion for transforming the world through software.

Over the past few years, I’ve developed industry-leading design systems in healthcare and created intuitive, commercial-grade B2B solutions.

Now, I’m seeking to bring my expertise client-side, where I can help shape the future of software.

If you’re looking for a designer with a sharp eye and proven capability, let’s work together.

Design Leader

As a founding member of UnitedHealthCare’s Design Council, I play a key role in shaping decisions that guide over 800 designers—from junior to senior—ensuring consistent design practices across the organization.

In addition to this leadership role, I created and continue to host an internal Figma training series for the UHC UX Provider team, empowering designers to refine their skills and enhance their workflows.

To further foster collaboration, I established a cross-disciplinary UX community of practice, bringing together professionals across UX, UI, and UR to share knowledge and best practices.

With deep expertise in Figma, I also specialize in setting up and maintaining Design System Libraries, ensuring design consistency and operational efficiency across projects.

I am currently pursuing a Master UX Audit Certification from the Baymard Institute, with completion planned by the end of 2025.
