Designer Building Design Systems from Primitives to Production
I design websites with true design system foundations—spacing tokens, typography scales, semantic color systems, and component hierarchies. Developers get systematic, scalable designs built on solid primitives. 3+ years of remote collaboration with US and Singapore-based teams.
