How I work

Four things I am usually hired for

UX architecture

Deciding the structure once, so the product scales with new capability instead of against it.

Complex workflow & product design

Graduated complexity, asynchronous work made legible, and irreversible actions made understandable before commitment.

Design systems & UX guidelines

One documented vocabulary, held across products and across light and dark.

Design leadership

Direction, a review practice, mentoring, and cross-functional work with product, engineering and QA.

Design system27-page UI guideline

One vocabulary, agreed late

Archon Data Store colour ramp: Tailwind slate neutrals plus the ADS primary blue.
FoundationsColour · typography · spacing · elevation
ComponentsEvery control, plus the full data table with header, row, empty, loading and filter states
Tokensprimary/600 · slate/500 · success/text · danger/bg

The platform grew module by module, with spacing, control heights and states settled per screen. The design system brought them into one modern language, across light and dark. Token names are what engineering references, never the hex.
