Welcome to Justin X. Hale’s Portfolio
I’m a Senior UX / Product Designer at Red Hat. I work on enterprise platform and developer-portal experiences: package catalogs, AI/ML operational surfaces, and CLI/SDK tooling. I partner with engineering and ship production UI when that is the fastest way to get to clarity.
At Red Hat I originated design-comments (now maintained by PatternFly) for in-context feedback on coded prototypes. Outside work I design, build, and publish mobile and PWA products with real users.
I design systems people can trust under pressure, from production AI platforms to field workflows.
Selected work
design-comments
As design moved off Figma onto coded prototypes, UXD lost in-context commenting. I architected design-comments (pins, GitHub Issues backend, AI summarize). I originated it; PatternFly now maintains it.
Red Hat Packages Catalog
Trusted Libraries and AI Components lived in separate experiences. I unified them into one faceted catalog and shipped it in React/TypeScript on PatternFly 6 in a week.
Published product suite
Tō3, RefLog, RefereeIQ, ReflectED, and Sevens Manager: store and PWA apps I design, build, and field-test with real users.
vLLM CLI UX
Redesigned help for 200+ configuration options; merged upstream after an RFC with maintainers.
