Systems I've Built
Design systems work — component libraries, brand foundations, and cross-surface standards that scale beyond a single screen or deliverable.
A scalable design system is infrastructure, not decoration. It's the decision, made once, that governs how a brand looks on a website, a menu, a standing banner, and an email — without requiring the designer to start over each time.
What "scalable systems" means in practice
Two projects, two different stages of system-building. One completed library spanning web, print, and event collateral. One brand foundation scoped, partially built, and honestly documented — with a clear path to what remains.

Library Includes
- Type styles & scale
- Color tokens
- Button components
- Card components
- News card variants
- Spacing system
- Logo & brand marks
- Print templates
Systems Contribution
Built the complete Figma component library and design tokens; structured the project file as a templatable model replicable for future restaurant clients. Components were validated across six surfaces — from web to print to event signage — ensuring visual consistency without per-surface redesign.

What Was Built
- Style brand foundation
- Color & type tokens
- Logo system
- UX sitemap
- User flows
- Wireframe set
- Hi-fidelity screens
- Style guide (Style vertical)
Honest Status
The Style vertical brand foundation is complete. The Beauty vertical foundation remains in scope. The Figma component library — sitemap, wireframe, user flow, and UI components — is partially built. What I'd do next: complete Beauty brand tokens, then build shared components that serve both verticals from a single source of truth, since the brands share infrastructure despite their distinct voices.
Why This Work Matters
Organizations with multiple surfaces — exhibitions, publications, wayfinding, digital platforms, programming — need design decisions that hold without a designer in the room every time.
The work above demonstrates that I can build that infrastructure: define the tokens, build the components, document the standards, and structure files so the system lives beyond any single project.
