senior product designer ✦ design systems advocate

I'm the enablement lead for the Capital One design system. I design products, systems, and the joyful enablement layer that helps people and AI agents actually use them. 

I've spoken at zeroheight's Converge conference about The Magic Moment in Design Systems and lead Figma AI training for Capital One.
