My capabilities in:
Design Systems
From token strategy to component architecture and documentation, I design systems that reduce friction, improve consistency, and enable teams to move fast and efficiently.
-
Define scalable foundations including color, typography, spacing, and semantic tokens to support consistency, accessibility, and cross-platform growth.
-
Design flexible, accessible UI components with concise variants, and states that scale across products and platforms.
-
Create cohesive, platform-aware interfaces that balance native conventions with system consistency across web and mobile experiences.
-
Embed accessibility into system foundations and components, ensuring WCAG-compliant, inclusive experiences from the start.
-
Produce clear documentation, usage guidelines, and best practices that empower design and engineering teams to confidently adopt and contribute to the system.
-
Establish contribution models, versioning, and deprecation strategies to keep the system healthy, scalable, and aligned as products evolve.
My capabilities in:
Product Design
I design user-centered product experiences by turning complex problems into clear, intuitive solutions. Through research, thoughtful UX strategy, and accessible interface design, I create products that balance user needs with business goals.
-
Partner with stakeholders to understand user needs, define clear problem statements, and align on outcomes through research, comparative analysis, inspiration, and scope definition.
-
Design intuitive user journeys, information architecture, and flows that turn complex requirements into clear, usable experiences.
-
Create polished, accessible interfaces and interactive prototypes that bring ideas to life and support validation, alignment, and handoff.
-
Plan and coordinate with researchers to validate assumptions, uncover insights, and iterate designs based on real user feedback.
-
Work closely with product, engineering, and stakeholders to align vision, balance constraints, and ship high-quality product experiences.
-
The work is never done… Continuously improve experiences using qualitative and quantitative feedback, product metrics, and ongoing learning.
My Philosophy
Design is most effective when it balances empathy with structure.
Strong systems create consistency and scalability, but meaningful experiences come from understanding real human needs. The best work happens when design, product, and engineering align around shared principles and a commitment to clarity, accessibility, and long-term impact.
