The_Profile

I'm a product and web designer with four years of experience delivering production digital experiences. For three and a half years I led end-to-end web design at Lumen Technologies, where I built and maintained a design system of 40+ reusable components across 70+ pages and served as the team's primary builder and subject-matter expert for interactive content. I work in both directions: UX strategy, information architecture, and high-fidelity UI in Figma on one side; HTML, SCSS, and JavaScript on the other. That means a design either ships as an annotated spec engineering can build from, or as a live, responsive front end I build myself.

The route here was a BA in Innovative Design & Architecture, then two years of self-directed study in UX and front-end development. Today I also run Ouro's Designs, taking client projects from strategy through deploy on Astro, Supabase, Stripe, and Cloudflare.

01

Systems Thinking

Before anything gets designed or built, I map the components that need to operate together and the edges that will stress at scale. Every engagement starts with the structure underneath the surface.

02

Design Engineering

Decisions get made against evidence, not instinct. I work inside the testing cycle with the team, reviewing A/B results and folding what they show back into the interface. Modular design systems make those decisions scalable: every component intentional, every pattern reusable, cohesive as the product grows.

03

Full-Scope Delivery

The system architecture wires everything together. The design system brings the brand to life. And because the same person conceived it and shipped it, nothing gets lost between the vision and the build.
