Hi, I’m a Senior Product Designer with 10+ years of experience specializing in design systems, token-based architecture, and scalable UI frameworks across B2C and B2B platforms. I love defining design foundations—typography, color, spacing, elevation, motion, and iconography—and translating them into reusable components with clear anatomy, states, and behaviors. I’ve partnered with product, engineering, and accessibility teams at organizations including T-Mobile and AWS to audit, unify, and operationalize design systems. I also explore AI-assisted workflows to accelerate audits, documentation, edge-case exploration, and rapid prototyping within Figma-based workflows, while maintaining human-centered design decisions at the core.
