design is a processof Elimination

I work as a connective tissue between design systems, product teams, and engineering, making sure patterns stay consistent as teams scale while products reach millions.

My philosophy is simple,

I work from three pillars that keep teams aligned and products moving.

See my Work >

DESIGN

Reduce complexity

Design systems maturity

COLLABORATION:

Build shared ownership.

Cross-functional influence

TECHNOLOGY

Make it real.

Shipping, not just specs

caseSTUDY

Two Systems, One Codebase, Zero Breathing Room

We built the design system, but autonomy turned it into a menu, not a standard.
