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.

02 / About

Systems as decision infrastructure.

Design systems aren’t just UI. They’re decision-making systems.

I work at the intersection of design, engineering, and systems thinking, building the structures that determine how products are made. I’m particularly interested in where systems go next: AI-assisted workflows, tighter design-to-code pipelines, and new forms of system intelligence that make design logic explicit, traceable, and scalable.
