Responsible UI evolution

Common Scenarios

Teams grinding on backlog tickets lose sight of the bigger goal.

Executives articulate vision but can’t make it tangible.

Engineers and PMs talking past each other about features and flows.

:

A design system should serve the team, not the other way around. Rigid rules without flexibility stall progress.

I approach systems as living frameworks. Instead of tearing things down, I refine what’s already working—nudging hierarchy, clarifying patterns, and smoothing friction points between design and engineering. It’s evolution, not revolution. The result is a product that looks and feels more coherent, while the team gains confidence that the system will adapt with them, not against them.

About & Contact
I custom-built this portfolio with Webflow - a visual site builder that, despite superficial similarities, is decidedly unlike Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, or just about anything else. I love to talk about the ways Webflow breaks down old silos and improves the partnership between design and development.
