Problems I'm hired to fix

Hover or tap a card to see how I fix it. Most projects start with one of these.

01

Every team has its own button

Duplicated components slow design reviews and confuse users.

What I doEvery duplicate and inconsistency found, with a plan to merge them.
02

Dark mode and RTL break things

Hard-coded colors and directions turn every new theme into a rebuild.

What I doColour, type, spacing and elevation tokens with light and dark modes.
03

Design and code drift apart

Figma says one thing, production does another.

What I doEvery state, built with Figma variants and WCAG AA contrast.
Try it

One component, every context

Tokens let the same component adapt to theme, language direction and density without redesigning it. Try the switches.

Week 1

Map the flows

Journeys and structure first, so we agree on how it works before how it looks.

Weeks 2 to 5

Design and test

High-fidelity screens and a clickable prototype, refined with your feedback and real users.

Launch

Handoff and support

Specs and components for your developers, or build and launch with my studio.

Selected work

Proof, not promises

Real products shipped for real teams, including American Express and stc.

Questions

What clients ask

Do I need a design system for a small product?

Not a large one. Most products benefit from a lean system early: tokens and the 15 to 20 components used everywhere. It grows only when the product does.

Can you improve our existing design system instead of starting over?

Yes. I usually start with an audit, keep what works, retire what is duplicated and migrate screens in steps so nothing breaks.

Which tools do you use?

Figma for the system itself, with variables and variants, and documentation your developers can map to code.
