What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and evolve accessible design systems, design-to-code workflows, and product experiences with cross-functional teams that value strong governance, reusable components, and thoughtful collaboration.

At Trexis Services, I owned end-to-end design and requirements for digital banking features while building a tokenized, multi-brand enterprise design system with 200+ reusable components and 1,800+ design variables. I partnered with engineering to establish an API-driven Figma-to-code workflow, performed design QA in Storybook and Widgetbook, and created reference designs using 100% system components.

Previously, I built and documented a React-based design language at Global Holdings and helped shape BOK Financial’s Enterprise Design Language across product, marketing, and digital experiences. I enjoy creating governance, documentation, and accessible component systems that help cross-functional teams move faster with greater consistency.
