I build design systems and ship them in code. Most recently I spent two years on Facebook’s Design System, making it AI-ready, evolving it for Forum, and increasingly pushing diffs instead of specs.

Before Meta: monetization design at Reality Labs, spatial work at Perkins & Will, and Architecture and Information Science at the University of Michigan. The arc for me is XR first (how do people move through 3D space?), then design systems at scale (how do billions of taps stay coherent?), now AI-native workflows (how do you normalize a system so automation can actually help?).

I’ve been lucky to work on problems at the edge of scalable design engineering and AI. If you’re curious about any of it, or your team is exploring designer-led, end-to-end shipping, I’d love to chat.
