About

I’m a UI/UX designer and front-end builder focused on scalable, accessible digital products—especially for public-sector and service platforms. I turn “it works” into measurable evidence by auditing design system health (like token usage, adoption, overrides, and component sprawl), then translate findings into prioritized improvements that engineering and stakeholders can act on.

Across roles, I’ve led UI and design QA with WCAG at the center, building requirements into component contracts and owning accessibility checks through release. I also design and implement design systems and style guides, migrate UI foundations to standards-based approaches, and collaborate with clients and internal teams through workshops to align scope, priorities, and delivery from concept to production.
