Product Designer & Design Systems Specialist
8 years of experience
I'm a product designer with 8 years of experience creating intuitive digital experiences and scalable design systems. I specialize in bridging the gap between design and development, ensuring consistency and efficiency across products.
My approach combines deep user research, systematic thinking, and close collaboration with engineering teams. I believe great design systems empower teams to build better products faster while maintaining quality and consistency.
Currently, I'm focused on building accessible, component-driven design systems that scale across web and mobile platforms.

Design Principles
Consistency Through Tokens
Design tokens are the foundation of any scalable design system. By defining colors, typography, spacing, and other design decisions as tokens, we create a single source of truth that can be consumed across platforms.
This approach ensures visual consistency while enabling teams to easily update values system-wide. Tokens also facilitate theming and support for features like dark mode.
Component Composition
Building components that can be composed together creates flexibility while maintaining consistency. Smaller, focused components can be combined to create more complex interfaces without sacrificing reusability.
This approach mirrors modern development practices and makes it easier for teams to build new features quickly. Each component has a clear, single purpose and can be combined with others to create diverse layouts.
