Approach

How I Work

A systematic approach to building scalable, consistent UI foundations that empower product teams.

01

Audit & Discovery

Inventory existing UI patterns, identify inconsistencies, and map the current design landscape across products.

Stakeholder interviews, UI audit, gap analysis

02

Token Architecture

Define the foundational layer: color, spacing, typography, and motion as platform-agnostic design tokens.

Semantic tokens, theme structure, naming conventions

03

Component Design

Build composable, accessible primitives using atomic design principles. Favor composition over configuration.

Figma components, API design, variant mapping

04

Documentation

Treat docs as a product. Create clear usage guidelines, interactive examples, and contribution workflows.

Storybook, usage guides, do/don't patterns

05

Governance & Scale

Establish contribution models, versioning strategies, and adoption metrics to sustain the system long-term.

RFC process, analytics, deprecation strategy
