What drew you to design systems?

As a product designer I always focused on creating a consistent experience. When I started as a designer, this meant building style guides and meticulously checking every screen before it was shipped. Over time this turned into design systems with coded components, design tokens, patterns and guidelines.

Who have you learned from or been inspired by?

I learned one of my most valuable lesson from Michael Beirut who is so modest and open about his mistakes. This helped me realise that being vulnerable is a strength that accelerates personal growth. James Clear, with his book “atomic habits” taught me that achieving big goals is done by taking one small step after another. I have also learned much from my friends and colleagues. I find that everybody has something to teach if you are willing to learn.
