Hello! 👋 I’m a New York based digital product designer with an extensive background in building design systems.

Currently

I’m a Staff Experience Designer @ Adobe and part of the Spectrum Design System team :)

My primary interest is in building a design system community within a UX org that embodies and encourages cross-functional collaboration between people and teams. I’m passionate about processes and eager to provide a shared language to connect designers, developers, and product teams.

My motivation is in enabling folks to design and develop better products efficiently by leveraging design system guidelines and resources.

“Design systems are made up of code, designs, and documentation as well as relationships, communication, and mutual trust.”

Things I’ve worked on

With the opportunities to work on multiple design systems in the past, there’s quite a bit to share, so grab a cup of ☕ or 🍵 and let me show you some projects!
