Design Systems · AI-Ready

Built for designers,
developers, and AI.

I help product teams build, fix, and evolve scalable design systems, structured so everyone who reads them, including AI, can reason with them confidently.

WHAT MAKES A SYSTEM AI-READY

I design systems so

AI can actually use them.

Most design systems describe appearance. AI needs intent. Here's how I build systems that both humans and machines can reason with.

01

Semantic naming that communicates hierarchy & intent

Names like color.feedback.error.default tell AI what a token means, not just what color it is. Structure carries meaning.

02

Design tokens that encode meaning, not just values

Tokens aren't just variables. They carry context — role, tier, usage rules — so AI can apply them correctly, not randomly.

03

Components defined by purpose and rules, not only visuals

Every component includes when to use it, when not to, what problem it solves, and what trade-offs were made.

04

Documentation that explains context and decision logic

Not just what the system is, but why decisions were made. AI tools need narrative context, not just specs.

05

Decisions captured where they happen — not buried in chat

Design rationale lives inside the system itself, versioned and retrievable — by humans and AI assistants alike.

WHAT I DO

Four ways I

help your team.

I don't come in with a fixed recipe. Sometimes strategy, sometimes build, sometimes audit. Often a mix. What stays consistent: turning your design system into something teams rely on.

01 — Build

Full Service Design System

For teams starting from zero. I design a system that humans and AI tools can both understand, not just how things look, but how they should be used.

Strategy

Tokens

Components

Governance

Docs

02 — Fix

Design System Audit

For systems that exist but aren't working. I evaluate the whole — tokens, components, docs, handoff gaps — and give you a clear roadmap on what to fix, keep, and kill.

Audit

WCAG

Adoption

Roadmap

03 — Bridge

Design–Code Integration

For when Figma and code live in different universes. I create workflows where tokens stay in sync, components translate accurately, and design intent survives into production.

Cursor

Token Sync

04 — Evolve

Maintenance & Governance

For systems that worked — until your product grew. I run health checks, manage versioning, automate quality checks, and keep docs readable for humans and AI as teams scale.

HOW I WORK

A repeatable process

that scales.

Whether building from scratch or improving an existing system, the process follows the same arc: understand, structure, implement, sustain.

01

Understand & Audit

I start by learning how your product and team actually work — not how they should on paper.

– Evaluate design + code libraries
– Map component consistency & reuse
– Identify design–dev handoff gaps
– Assess accessibility (WCAG)

02

Structure & Build

Design system strategy, token framework, and component architecture — built for humans and AI from day one.

– Semantic token architecture
– Component framework with intent docs
– Design–code alignment workflows
– AI-readable documentation standards

03

Sustain & Evolve

Systems don't break, they fall behind. I put governance, automation, and maintenance in place so yours keeps up.

– Versioning & change visibility
– Contribution rules & governance
– Automated QA & health checks
– Adoption support as teams scale

TOOLING

Tools filtered for

what actually works.

Most AI + design system content is noise. I pay attention to what reduces translation, keeps tokens in sync, and lets machines read the system.

Figma + MCP

Source of truth for structure & component logic. MCP lets AI validate tokens fast.

Cursor

AI-assisted editor for moving from design system to real code, fast.

Storybook

Documents and tests coded components. Single source of truth for dev.

Microsoft Copilot

Speeds up audits, documentation reviews, and accessibility checks.

Token Studio

Defines semantic, scalable design tokens with hierarchy and meaning.

Builder.io

Stress-tests component flexibility in real layouts — reveals system gaps.

Fusion

Explores patterns and system variations quickly without heavy overhead.

ZeroHeight

Maintains clear, human-friendly documentation that stays up to date.

Lynt Plugin

Catches inconsistencies early and makes designs code-ready before handoff.

Style Dictionary

Syncs tokens across design and code without manual translation.

FAQs

What teams usually ask.

Absolutely. In fact, I often start with auditing and improving existing systems. Rebuilding from scratch is rarely the first or best solution.

I design systems not just for designers and developers, but also for AI tools and automation. That means clearer structure, semantic intent, and workflows that scale with modern tooling.

Not at all. AI handles repetitive and mechanical work.
Humans keep judgment, craft, and decision-making.
My goal is to reduce friction, not replace expertise.

Very hands-on. I work closely with code, components, tokens, and tooling to ensure design intent survives into production. I’m comfortable operating at the design–engineering boundary.

That’s completely fine. Tools are examples, not requirements. I adapt workflows to your stack, the principles matter more than the tools themselves.

Through clear intent, lightweight governance, and automation. A good system removes decisions, not flexibility, and evolves with the product instead of blocking it.

A design system includes guidelines, governance, and design principles, while a component library is the coded implementation of UI elements. I help you with both.

No. These principles work at any scale. Smaller teams often benefit even more because they can set the right foundations early and avoid painful rewrites later.
