Ali Taylor · Team Lead Product Design

A problem solver for products and the teams behind them.

I'm Ali, a design leader in Amsterdam. My career has been about building products, and today I lead a design team at AutoScout24. In products and in teams, I'm drawn to the same thing: finding the real problem and solving it well.

What I care about

MARKETPLACES BUYERS & SELLERS ACROSS EUROPE

Marketplaces

I love the puzzle of a product where buyers and sellers both need to win. At AutoScout24 and Booking.com I’ve designed for both sides, from people looking for their next car or hotel to the dealers and hoteliers serving them, in markets all over Europe.

AI WORKFLOW AGENTS IN THE PROCESS DESIGN TO CODE

AI workflows and design systems

I’m making our design system readable by AI agents: documentation in GitHub, an MCP server with our platform team, and a Figma Make kit that keeps builds on brand. So what gets designed is what gets built.

CRAFT LEADERSHIP PAIR WORK HONEST CRITIQUE HIGH STANDARDS

Raising the bar

I raise the bar by working alongside designers: pairing on hard problems, giving honest critique and setting standards that make good work the default.

Want to go deeper? I’m happy to walk you through any of these case studies, the decisions behind them and what I’d do differently.
