About
I’m a design systems designer with a particular love for building things from the ground up. My work spans multi-brand systems and visual craft at scale, with much of my time spent figuring out how design and engineering can build better together.
What I find most interesting about design systems is everything that happens beyond the components. It takes a lot of collaboration to turn a collection of patterns into something teams actually use, and that’s the part of the work I’ve come to really enjoy.
I grew up in Indiana, where the scenery consisted mostly of cornfields, cows, and ... more cows. Naturally, a little bit of home found its way onto this site. Maybe a little more than I originally intended.
