Work
An anonymized view of the impact areas I work in: system architecture, component APIs, semantic tokens, accessibility standards, developer experience, AI-native workflows, and teaching.
Led the design, implementation, and evolution of a core design system supporting multiple product surfaces and engineering teams. The work centered on durable component APIs, system constraints, contribution models, and practical adoption across real product flows.
Defined and operationalized semantic tokens for color, typography, spacing, and motion so design decisions could travel cleanly from Figma into production code. The goal: fewer one-off choices, clearer system contracts, and less design-to-code drift.
Established accessibility and semantic standards at the system level, improving the baseline quality of new and existing features. This included accessible patterns, HTML semantics, WCAG-minded defaults, and guidance for engineers and designers using the system.
Improved component ergonomics, documentation, handoff workflows, and contribution paths so design system work was easier to trust and use. The focus was not just documenting the system, but making it adoptable inside busy product teams.
Exploring how teams can teach AI tools the language, constraints, decision history, and implementation rules of a design system instead of treating AI as a generic autocomplete layer.
Teaching and mentoring students in web design, interaction design, front-end development, accessibility, responsive design, and systems thinking. Teaching keeps the fundamentals sharp and reinforces the mental models behind strong UI architecture.
