Selected Work
I’m a design leader with 15+ years in tech, specializing in design systems, systems thinking, and taking products from prototype to production. Below are a few case studies that show how I work.

Ringlet MVP: Laser-Focused on Launch
As Head of Design, I brought structure and ruthless prioritization to the fast-moving, resource-constrained team to create a focused MVP, launching in less than 6 months.

Ringlet's Design System: A Strategy for Startups
As a fractional design leader, I have limited capacity. So I built a lean design system that enables the team to create and ship UIs on their own. This design system can now also be given to AI design tools as context.

Moving Adobe to a Unified Developer Platform
Over 15 different platform tools, more than 150 developers, and a five-person UX org trying to hold it together. I led the strategy to unify Adobe's internal developer platform on Backstage with Spectrum and rebuilt a team around scaling design quality rather than doing all the work ourselves.

Accelerating a Unified UX with Adobe's Spectrum Design System
How I led Adobe's internal developer platform through a migration from our homegrown design system, Stardust, to Adobe Spectrum, and how that decision scaled our frontend org from 3 people to a team of 8 servicing 100+ engineers.

Building a Lean Design System to Scale Design
I was the only designer for 50 backend engineers, making me a constant bottleneck. So I created Stardust, a scrappy design system that enabled me to scale design within the team.
