About

I lead visual and design system architecture at Dentsu, spearheading the Dentsu Design System to scale consistent, accessible, and high-quality product experiences across teams and platforms. My work focuses on defining UI foundations, tokens, and component architecture, and evolving the system to support both product velocity and long-term platform needs. I operate at the intersection of design, engineering, and product to turn design systems into operational leverage not just libraries. As Design System Lead, I drive adoption, governance, and quality, enabling teams to ship faster while maintaining strong visual standards and accessibility. I’m known for strong visual judgment, system-level thinking, and a high bar for craft balancing creative direction with the rigor required to make systems scalable, extensible, and easy to adopt. If you’re building or scaling a design system, aligning teams around shared UI foundations, or driving consistency across products, I’m always open to connecting.
