Design system leader · Chicago
I design systems that make teams faster.
Fifteen-plus years building and scaling token-driven design systems across fintech, analytics, and healthcare education. I build systems from zero, govern them at scale, and connect design to engineering through Figma, Storybook, and AI-augmented workflows.
Senior / Staff product designer · Chicago
I design complex, data-heavy products — end to end.
Design systems are my passion, but I ship end-to-end product work too: turning dense workflows, onboarding funnels, and financial tools into intuitive, high-confidence experiences that improve clarity, conversion, and long-term product growth.
