Design System Lead | Design Engineer
Building scalable design systems and crafting user experiences that bridge the gap between design and engineering.
About
As the founding Design System Lead at Klue, I established the Design System and Design QA functions from the ground up. My primary focus was ensuring flawless design implementation and bridging the critical gap between our product design and engineering teams.
I owned the end-to-end Design QA pipeline, from directing a comprehensive UI audit and building a robust design token architecture to implementing rigorous visual testing processes. By creating a single source of truth in our design system, I established the governance and standards needed to enforce UI consistency, champion accessibility (WCAG), and guarantee that the design intent was perfectly translated into the final product.
This work created a culture of design quality, streamlined the design-to-development workflow, and empowered teams to build better, more consistent products faster.
