About — Ethan Rogers

Where design meets engineering.

I'm a design technologist who bridges design and engineering — prototyping and shipping forward-looking experiences from concept to code. 4+ years building enterprise platforms, design systems, and AI tools.

The Story

I make things that work beautifully.

Four years ago, I joined Kimberly-Clark with a simple mission: make enterprise software that doesn't make people want to throw their laptop out the window. Turns out, that's harder than it sounds — but also way more rewarding.

These days, I split my time between designing analytics platforms, building the front-end that powers them, and prototyping new interactions, motion, and Gen AI experiences. I speak fluent Figma and TypeScript.

Graduate of the University of Washington, lifelong Mariners optimist, and firmly believe the best interfaces are the ones you don't notice. Go Huskies.
