Experience

Principal Designer, Design Systems Lead • SageSure • July 2024 - current

Owns the design system product and serves as a systems thinking mentor across the broader design org.

  • Architected a semantic token pipeline and refactored component foundations — including deprecation and migration — resulting in a 63% YoY increase in Figma insertions and a .14% detachment rate.

  • Guiding the transition to AI-native workflows, including a Figma plugin that embeds content guidelines directly into design workflows and a pathway for AI-led prototyping with coded components.

  • Shifting focus from components to foundations and templates, aligning with high-priority business needs and AI workflow support.

  • Establishing contribution standards and community programs that drove a 233% increase in system contributions within 18 months.

  • Leading and mentoring a design systems team including a full-time contract direct report and intern program, with a focus on systems thinking, accessibility, and cross-functional relationship building.

Principal Designer, Design Systems Lead • Homebase • Dec 2022 - June 2024

Joined to rescue a struggling system and rebuilt it into a product the team actually wanted to use.

  • Drove component adoption from near zero to 100% across 6 teams and 13 designers — growing Figma inserts from 4,000 to 37,000 (825%) and NPS from 34 to 40 in 12 months.

  • Partnered with marketing to translate a new brand into the product suite — orchestrating implementation across web, iOS, Android, and tablet, leading creative direction, managing sprint coordination across platform teams, defining semantic color tokens with mapping diagrams, and running design QA of color and typography implementation.

  • Used the rebrand as a catalyst to refresh UX patterns through weekly design jams, resulting in consistent experiences across the product suite.

  • Built governance, contribution processes, and WCAG AA-aligned accessibility standards — including Storybook-linked docs in Supernova — increasing designer satisfaction from 70% to 90% positive in one year.

Senior Product Designer, Design Systems Lead • Wonolo • May 2022 - Nov 2022

Stepped into a design leadership vacuum — leading critiques, hiring designers, building onboarding documentation, and collaborating with marketing and engineering leads while we searched for a head of design.

  • Consolidated the design tech stack from 4 tools to 1 (migrating the team fully into Figma), aligned color and type foundations with brand, and launched 16 core components — achieving 75% increase in visual consistency and a detach rate under 1% in 6 months. Reduced redundancy within silos across product and engineering
