Nehmat Gereige
I build design systems that help teams ship consistent interfaces across applications. Shared design tokens, theming, and reusable components connect Figma and code, while documented patterns help AI agents build with the same system.
I led the team's efforts to create and evolve a multi-brand Figma design system used by about 50 product teams. The design system team built a complete token system in code and Figma for a company-wide theming service and shared event-theme object.
View projectI built Moonglade from the ground up, carried its tokens and components into a React library, and wrote guidance so AI agents can reuse it. I teach the full workflow in a video tutorial.
View projectConnected eight designers across three countries to create a shared system for eight product modules, partnering with engineering on the component foundation.
View projectI connect strategy, team leadership, and practical AI workflows to help people do their best work and carry it forward.
I lead UX across three teams, connecting company and customer priorities to clear design outcomes. My approach combines thoughtful team leadership with practical AI pilots: four of six teams reached a working prototype in one week, while clear requirements and protected time helped discovery move from about three months to two sprints.

I currently teach UX and UI at Algonquin College, and share hands-on Figma, design systems and AI workflows on YouTube with designers. These videos are one part of a broader commitment to education and enablement.
Outside work, I find joy in time with my children, yoga and meditation, painting, gardening, and cooking. I love singing, playing the guitar, and traveling the world, especially to islands with beautiful beaches.
People come first for me. When people are happy at work and feel trusted, they naturally give their best. I lead by example and work alongside my team, holding myself to the same standards I ask of them. That’s how I build lasting relationships rooted in trust, openness, and direct, honest communication.
“I had the honor and privilege of working with Nehmat at Quest Software. First as a coworker and then as her manager. Nehmat has the unique ability to energize and empower those around her. Her skill is unmatched. She is easy to work with and is a natural leader.
Much of the work that we do at Quest is highly technical and very complex. She is able to easily break down and simplify complex requirements into thoughtful, functional user experiences. She received the highest praise from all who worked with her, no matter their role. She brought tremendous value to our UX team at Quest and she is missed.
Over the short time that I worked with Nehmat, she enlightened, delighted and inspired me to be the best version of myself both at home and at work. I will move mountains for the opportunity to work with her again in the future.”
“Nehmat was the first UX designer I had the pleasure of working with as a product manager and she has far surpassed my expectations. Her amazing attention to detail and customer first mind-set is met with incredible passion. We worked side by side building applications from the ground up as well as revamping existing applications for several years. Nehmat has impressed me during this time with her vast knowledge of UX design methodologies and creativity. Nehmat would be a true asset to any company because of her drive for success, work ethic and strong communication skills. I really enjoyed working with her, she will be missed.”
“With a personality for driving success, Nehmat is an asset to any UX team. Whatever situation or task she is thrown in she gives it 100%. In her professional interactions with hundreds of students and users across the globe, Nehmat’s ability to empathize with them has left me impressed and inspired. She can understand the user’s “story” and translate those needs into workable experiences.
Nehmat takes great pride and ownership in everything that she does and I believe that she will be an excellent addition to any UX team and wish her all the best.”
“Collaborating with Nehmat on the design for this app was a great experience. She is very easy to work with as I found she is always willing to listen to input, and never shy to voice her opinions on matters she feels strongly about. She is very good at observing the UI/UX interface guidelines set for both iOS and Android, as well as knowing the appropriate moments for unique customization or innovation. Her eye for detail was particularly evident as it was reflected in the quality of the high-fidelity wireframes she created.
Her strong communication skills with clients, ease with collaborating with others, as well as a natural talent for design makes her a valuable asset to any organization.”
“Nehmat is a joy to work with. She is exceptionally intuitive and has a natural creativity that can't be taught. Her work is thorough and precise, and she's able to understand both the function and the essence of what's being implemented. An excellent developer and even better person.”
“Nehmat is one of the most passionate and inspired people I have had the joy to work with and learn from. She culturally sensitive, a global citizen and has excellent communication skills. Bright, emphathic and highly energetic; I would highly recommend Nehmat as she would be an asset to any organization.”
I speak at UX and design conferences, lead hands-on AI design workshops, and help designers grow through one-on-one career guidance and portfolio reviews. I also partner with small businesses to build websites and apps.
