Design systems that make product decisions legible at scale.
I design and lead systems that shape how teams build, decide, and scale products. From launching the U.S. Web Design System to enterprise platforms, my work turns design systems into operational infrastructure across complex organizations.

Systems as decision
infrastructure.
Design systems aren’t just UI. They’re decision-making systems. They shape how design decisions get made, translated into code, and repeated across a product.
I work at the intersection of design and engineering, building the structures that determine how products get made. I’m particularly interested in what happens as AI becomes part of that process: how systems can carry more of the context, constraints, and intent needed to produce work that actually holds up.
