Clients I worked with are IBM, Google, Conduent and VSA internal. I worked both independently and closely across diverse global teams on many digital initiatives, spanning the disciplines of branding, product design, design-ops, sonic design, and motion design. My last project was a leadership/design role on for an enterprise level design system for IBM.
My latest project was w3DS, an internal IBM design system, basically, a user interface framework for the web made of code patterns and visual tools, so teams can quickly develop responsive sites and apps. As the senior designer on w3DS, IBM's internal design system, my responsibilities included; overseeing designers and implementing design op tools to manage our workflow, design of components and patterns, responsible for analyzing a need and delivering a method for a motion UI system tied to code and developing materials, using the system to push the limits of design, by creating innovative sample sites, and finally, to create presentation materials to help market our effort.
