Visual Systems

I design scalable visual systems that help products remain consistent across teams, platforms, and experiences. My work spans enterprise design systems, reusable UI patterns, iconography, branding, and illustration.

​

My experience includes evolving design systems at Navy Federal Credit Union, enhancing component libraries for Freddie Mac, creating co-branded visual guidelines for the National Science Foundation, and developing visual treatments for Intermix's mobile experience.

Intermex 

From components to colors, typography and iconography, I was part of a team that was tasked to improve these visual elements, keep a version history and maintain in Figma as the UI progressed and suggestions were developed. 

Freddie Mac

Freddie Mac's One Roof Design System encompassed many sub-categories such as the "Furniture" which included design elements and components like buttons, cards, alerts & notifications, chips, modals etc. I modified and continued improving these components to create a more simple and cohesive experience across the myOptigo platform.

National Science Foundation

The National Science Foundation had a preliminary style guide that was part of their graphic design team. I created a cobranding system with IXP and NSF to generate consistent and visually mesmerizing data representations such as user journeys and user typology as client deliverables.
