I build products and design systems—simultaneously.
Not because it's trendy, because fragmented tools and inconsistent patterns drive me mad.
Product Designer × Design Systems Specialist
Built from scratch to unify fragmented marketing operations across 4 departments, replacing manual Excel workflows with real-time data visibility. Grew from Mid UI Designer to co-owning product strategy
Built a production-ready design system from scratch as a solo mid-level designer in an engineer-first startup. Solved JavaFX (zero references), 8-hour timezone gaps, and CEO resistance. Result: 90% QA reduction, company-wide adoption, and 1,920 hours saved through systematic reuse.
After hunting down backend engineers to map a process no one fully understood, I built a customer-facing tracker that replaced reactive 'we'll email you' communication with proactive self-service, saving CS from a lot of anxious phone calls.
Identified critical gap in design token workflows across 3 product teams. No existing tool supported our Figma Variables → GitHub pipeline without expensive third-party dependencies.
Built lightweight solution enabling direct token sync, eliminating manual export/import cycles and reducing design system maintenance overhead
