Here’s a glimpse into my world—where design, systems, and a dash of creativity collide!"

A B O U T M E

A design operations expert was passionate about systems and processes. I’m a strong advocate for creating scalable, cohesive design systems that elevate product quality, recognizing that a deep understanding of operational constraints is essential for success.

While I’m detail-oriented in shaping design systems and optimizing workflows, my experience has taught me that successful design operations are collaborative efforts. They involve close partnerships across research, engineering, product, and design teams. Most importantly, I understand that the design process often requires balancing ideal solutions with practical realities, and I embrace pragmatism to achieve the best possible outcome.

I excel in dynamic environments, adapting my approach to meet the needs of the organization. In smaller companies, I take on multiple roles, from developing and managing design systems to optimizing workflows. In larger companies, I collaborate closely with product management and research teams, ensuring that design systems align with business objectives and secure executive support—a skill honed from years of experience, where I learned that robust design systems and strategic alignment are key to successful project delivery.
