As a seasoned design system expert, I specialize in creating visual and functional consistency across products. With significant experience in leading design systems, I set design direction and standards, along with the company’s long term vision and goals.
I grew up just outside Boston. My accent isn’t as thick anymore, but my love of Boston hasn’t changed. I love it so much that I refuse to own any dog breed except a Boston Terrier :).
