System Product Designer | 8+ years in product design, currently specializing in Design Systems
Design systems specialist with 8+ years in product design, currently focused on component architecture, documentation, and adoption on the design system team at Cast & Crew. My work supports a suite of products used across the film and television production industry.
I didn't start in design systems. I came to it after years of leading end-to-end product design across web, internal software, and mobile, including overhauling information architecture, mentoring junior designers, and shipping interactive prototypes. That generalist foundation is what shapes how I approach design systems now. I think about real product needs, edge cases, and the people who have to use what I build, rather than treating components as abstract pieces.
Today, my work centers on defining components, documenting patterns, and leading design system support for cross-team initiatives. I'm equally invested in the parts that aren't always visible, the templates, decision records, and documentation practices that let other designers and engineers move forward without me in the room.
I work best in collaborative, iterative environments where designers, engineers, and product partners are aligned early and decisions are documented for the people who come next. I bring a methodical approach, an eye for edge cases, and a belief that good systems make everyone faster, not just the people who built them.
Outside of work, I run inspiretosmile.com an art and wellness brand I started years ago to promote emotional intelligence through stickers and design.
