Building design systems that scale product teams, not just toolkits.
I am a UI designer who specializes in design systems production, documentation, and component library management. 15+ years building and scaling design systems across Intuitive Surgical, Microsoft, REI, Lululemon, and Kaiser Permanente.
About
I work at the intersection of product design and the systems that help teams design and build at scale. I am a UI designer with 15+ years of experience across enterprise and consumer products, with the last six focused on design systems.
My work spans design libraries, tokens, component libraries, CMS templates, documentation, and their code counterparts. I focus on connecting these pieces into cohesive, practical systems that teams can adopt, maintain, and evolve.
Over my career, I've moved from product design into a specialized focus on design systems, tooling, documentation, and governance—bringing design expertise and systems thinking together to help teams create consistent, scalable products.

Good systems make the next decision easier.
The best design system work isn't a library of perfect, polished components sitting in a file waiting to be admired. It's production infrastructure — a way of making decisions together that stays useful across releases, products, and the people who inherit it.
Parity is a production practice. A design library, a documentation site, and a coded component can share the same name and still tell three completely different stories. The small details are the real work.
Documentation is a design surface. If the explanation is hard to scan, the interface underneath is probably hard to use too. Clear docs push the API toward clarity — they're part of the product.
Adoption is a design problem. A system grows when teams can find what they need, understand why it exists, and contribute changes without asking permission for every single move they make.
