Overview

I've spent 10 years on design systems - first at McKinsey & Company, now at Brook Learning. Cut support tickets about design systems by 36% with clearer copy and states. Brought the design systems flows to WCAG 2.2 AA. Most at home with component libraries and accessibility. Home cook with strong opinions about biryani.
