How I work

Some ideas that guide my work.

Systems emerge when a product starts to grow.

A design system isn't a product's starting point. It usually emerges when different people need to work with greater consistency and start sharing decisions.

Documenting is also designing.

Documentation isn't there to fill pages. It exists so other people can understand the reasoning behind a decision and reuse that knowledge.

The best decisions tend to be shared ones.

I like working closely with development, product, and research because many important decisions emerge when different perspectives are involved from the start.

Not everything gets solved by creating a component.

Often the problem lies in the processes, in communication between teams, or in how decisions get made. Designing also means helping resolve that friction.
