I help product teams build and evolve design systems that improve consistency, accessibility, and collaboration between design and engineering.
Whether you’re creating a system from scratch, modernizing an existing library, or scaling across multiple products or brands, I’ll help establish the structure, patterns, governance, and documentation needed to make the system sustainable.

What's included

Current-state audit & roadmap Review the existing system, product patterns, team workflows, and implementation gaps to identify priorities and create a practical roadmap.
Foundations, tokens & component architecture Establish or refine color, typography, spacing, tokens, variables, components, variants, and reusable patterns designed to scale.
Accessibility & quality standards Build accessibility and usability requirements into the system so teams have clear standards rather than treating accessibility as a final QA step.
Documentation & governance Define usage guidance, contribution practices, decision-making, and maintenance workflows so the system can evolve without becoming chaotic.
Design + engineering alignment Partner with developers throughout implementation to validate feasibility, support handoff, and improve consistency between Figma and production.
Multi-brand / white-label systems, when needed Create token-driven architectures that support multiple brands, themes, or products from a shared foundation.
AI-ready design system foundations Create structured tokens, semantic naming, component guidance, and documentation that can be used as context for AI-assisted workflows, including tools connected through MCP and other design-to-code environments.
