Building design systems @ NXTThing RPO

I design complex

products that

feel simple.

6+ years designing enterprise SaaS, data-heavy workflows and the design systems that hold them together, from information architecture and research through tokens, prototypes and shipped code.

Design Systems
6 ramps · 42 tokens
I've built design systems end to end primitives, semantic tokens and components engineering can actually ship against.
Figma Variables
Primitiveblue/600
Semanticaction/primary
Componentbtn/bg
I work in variables daily: collections, modes and aliasing wired so an entire product re-themes from one place.
User Research
"I keep 9 tabs open just to fill one role."
I run the interviews and usability sessions myself, then turn what I hear into decisions the team can act on.
Prototyping
I prototype at high fidelity so behaviour is reviewable and arguable long before anyone writes a line of code.
Information Architecture
I've restructured eight-module products: naming, hierarchy and navigation that stay obvious as the system grows.
Data Visualisation
10,450+records
I design dense tables and charts for people who scan, compare and decide -10,000+ records without the fog.
Responsive Design
I design one system across three breakpoints, specifying behaviour rather than handing over three screenshots.
AI Workflows
Prompt
Prototype
Validate
I use AI to move faster through exploration and production, never to outsource the judgement calls.
