Brad Bice Resume
Professional history & focus
My recent work centers on building a resilient, accessible, and collaborative design system foundation. That now includes a concrete AI layer: a Claude skill that encodes Pando's components, tokens, and accessibility rules, and a Claude Code plus Figma MCP workflow that puts editable Pando designs on the canvas from a terminal prompt.
Recent experience
Principal Product Designer, Design System
PluralsightWhen I finished my time at Cars.com, I wanted to focus more deeply on the foundations that improve product quality, accessibility, and consistency. Pluralsight gave me the chance to return to that craft as a dedicated individual contributor.
I rebuilt Pluralsight’s design system from the ground up, making accessibility a core principle and establishing strong collaboration with engineering and product. I have led and maintained the system through organizational change, and more recently extended it with an AI layer: a Claude skill that encodes Pando’s components, tokens, and accessibility rules so Claude generates on-system output by default, alongside a Claude Code plus Figma MCP integration that generates editable Pando designs from a terminal prompt.
Senior Manager of Product Design
Cars.comI began my time at Cars.com as a Visual Designer, quickly moving into Senior Product Design as I took on the challenge of creating our first internal design system: researching, architecting, and leading the early development of what became the Spark Design System.
When I relocated to Grand Rapids in 2019, I shifted into a fully remote individual contributor role, continuing to guide Spark while partnering closely with Engineering. I also led design tooling modernization efforts, helping upskill the broader design organization through that transition.
In 2021, I stepped into a Senior Manager role, supporting a team of Senior and Principal Product Designers and shaping our design tools, systems, and cross-functional collaboration practices. This was a natural evolution of the same systems-focused work that had grounded my earlier roles.
