I’m a design systems designer with nine years of experience, but really I’m someone who got pulled in by craft and stayed for systems thinking.

I started at Starbucks, where I learned to care deeply about the details. Mobile ordering was exploding, and being part of a product used at that scale taught me how much small decisions matter. That’s where I built my foundation in visual craft, obsessing over polish, hierarchy, and feel.

At Zillow, something clicked. I started thinking less about individual screens and more about how everything connects. How do you make a product cohesive across iOS, Android, and web without flattening what makes each platform feel native? That’s where I fell in love with systems thinking.

Coda was a shift. Startup pace, long hours, and a design system built from scratch. I got closer to code, and I stopped seeing design as a handoff. It became something you build with engineering and shape together.

At Cash App, I worked on Arcade, evolving the system while experimenting with AI workflows. Using tools like Cursor and Claude Code, I saw how fast we could move. That’s where I realized that speed is no longer the differentiator. Taste and judgment are what matter.

I’m driven by solving problems and finding the nuance, that moment where something just feels right. I have an opinionated sense of taste, and in a world where AI can generate almost anything, that matters more than ever.

I’m excited about what’s next, especially at the intersection of design systems and AI. We’re just starting to figure out what good looks like, and I want to help shape it.
