My timeline

Most recently, I served as a Senior Product Designer for the Atlas Design System at Tripadvisor. My primary focus was architecting the token system and development pipeline—the backbone of our visual language. working alongside product managers and engineers, I helped build a system that empowered our teams to deliver consistent and accessible user experiences efficiently.

The following are a few areas of focus:

Maintaining and evolving the design system: This includes everything from creating new components and patterns to updating existing ones to ensure they meet the latest accessibility and usability standards.
Collaborating with product teams: I work with product teams to understand their needs and ensure the design system meets those needs. This includes providing support and guidance on how to use the design system effectively.
‍Ensuring compliance with the design system: I work with designers and engineers to ensure that all products are compliant with the design system. This includes conducting design reviews and providing feedback.
Contributing to the design system roadmap: I work with the design system team to define the roadmap for the future of the design system. This includes identifying new opportunities and prioritizing initiatives.

I am passionate about creating user-centered design systems and tools that allow teams to build high-quality products at scale.
