Design systems consulting
Your design system should make shipping faster. Right now, it's probably making it slower, creating rework, creating accessibility risk, and adding friction between design and engineering. That's fixable.
I take on a limited number of engagements at a time.
Signs your design system needs attention
These aren't edge cases. They're the norm for teams that have been shipping features without a stable system underneath.
Designers and engineers solve the same problems every sprint.
No shared source of truth means every new feature restarts from scratch.
Accessibility issues accumulate until they become a legal liability.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) compliance is mandated in many jurisdictions and actively litigated.
The system exists, but nobody uses it consistently.
When documentation doesn't match reality, components get forked instead of extended.
A typical engagement
The audit identifies gaps and prioritizes fixes. From there, we either build a component library foundation, improve the design-to-code workflow, or both, depending on what the audit surfaces.
- Phase 1
Audit
Before you build anything new, you need to understand what's actually broken.
How the audit can help - Phase 2
Build
Stabilize and scale your UI system with a foundation built to last, not patched to survive.
How the starter kit can help - Phase 3
Align
Reduce handoff friction and rework. Fix the process once so your team stops losing time to it every sprint.
How the workflow can help
The goal is a system your team actually uses.
