About This Opportunity
Google DeepMind is building Antigravity—a next-generation product using AI agents to redefine how developers write software. This role creates the visual design language for that experience: typography, color, iconography, spatial systems, and motion that make complex AI interactions feel intuitive and beautiful.
Why I’m Excited
- I’m the User - I use AI coding tools daily; I understand what works and what doesn’t
- Design + Engineering - My career bridges both disciplines
- Systems Thinking - Creating scalable design languages is my favorite kind of problem
- DeepMind - Working at the frontier of AI research
Key Qualifications Match
| Requirement | My Experience |
|---|---|
| 3+ years visual design | 5+ years: Interaction Designer → UX Designer |
| Design systems | Built and maintained brand systems at CCA |
| Cross-functional collaboration | Work daily with engineers, PMs, stakeholders |
| Design tools | Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, prototyping |
| Visual craft | WebGL shaders, generative art, pixel-level attention |
Unique Angle
Most visual designers applying for this role won’t be daily users of AI coding tools. I am. I use Claude Code for:
- Building WebGL shaders and generative art
- Orchestrating complex development workflows
- Rapid prototyping and iteration
I understand the mental model of developers using AI assistants because I am one. I know where the friction points are, where visual clarity matters most, and what makes an AI interface feel trustworthy versus opaque.
Portfolio Considerations
Strong:
- WebGL shader playground (visual craft, interaction design)
- Design system work at CCA (systematic thinking)
- Accessibility improvements (color, contrast, scalable systems)
To Emphasize:
- Any design system documentation
- Visual design evolution/iteration
- Typography and color decisions
