DJ Brinkerhoff

Design Leader—2026

I live just outside Austin with my wife and three kids. Off the clock I read a lot, make a mean pizza, continuously talk myself in and out of a project car, and try to go to metalcore shows whenever the babysitting math works out.

I’ve spent a lot of time with AI in the past year, both professionally working with the tools, and personally thinking about how one ought to engage with machine intelligence. I currently use a combination of Codex and Claude Code in my work. Examples include modeling information architecture, tooling for myself to design 2400+ variants of components, making fixes in production(!) and some prototypes I can’t show you. 🙂
