My story

My path began in modular industrial design, where I saw how weak planning produced tangible manufacturing waste. In enterprise product design, the pattern resurfaced: one-off solutions introduced quality issues, slowed delivery, and created unnecessary friction for designers and developers. Design systems became my focus because they offer a shared, scalable source of truth that aligns all stakeholders.

Working at the intersection of design and development led me to deepen my technical fluency with a front-end development certificate. This enables me to translate design intent into systemized, maintainable assets using tooling and workflows that integrate cleanly with engineering practices.

Today I maintain and evolve a multi-brand ecommerce design system, with a focus on theming architectures that support consistent experiences across distinct visual identities.

Approach

Great design systems balance visual craft, scalability, and adoption. I architect component libraries and theming systems that bridge multiple contexts, integrate directly into codebases, and accelerate product development.
