"Design should scale like systems, but still feel human."

Over the past six years, this belief has carried me from pushing pixels to building processes, from solo design work to creating systems that outlast trends.

My approach to design is rooted in system thinking. To me, design should be scalable, reliable, and human. That’s why I dedicate time to design systems, workflow automation, and coaching teams — turning what seems repetitive into something joyful, and what feels complex into something approachable.

Led with system thinking and a product mindset, scaled the 17LIVE Design System into the codebase, streamlined DesignOps workflows, and coached designers to grow into stronger ICs and future leaders. Bridged closely with PMs and engineers to translate design decisions into shipped products. Stayed hands-on in projects, shaping product strategy, testing new workflows, and aligning the team with both business goals and user needs.
