More work

I'm proud of this work too.

1. Tiller - Design System

My first of four design systems—open source. I worked with developers and designers to create a tool that fits company goals.

3. Co-Leading UX Community of Practice (UX CoP)

I mentored junior designers, reviewed and guided them in their projects. UX CoP was the best way to learn and share knowledge between designers — you practically never work alone.

4. Creative Studio Kuki (This site)

Solo‑built. Focused on 3D visualization and interaction design based on qualitative user research, plus fun illustrations of my cats.

5. Code-X Marine
