Govern taste through structure, preventing ai slop from ever making it into our customers’ hands. Make sure system decisions translate cleanly into code, with shared ownership of quality, performance, and maintainability. Build accessibility, responsiveness, and performance into the system by default. Set clear contribution, governance, and deprecation models that balance speed with system integrity. Meet regularly with the designers and engineers who use the system, and bring their feedback alongside usage data into what you build next. Share the AI tools, workflows, and tactics that work with the wider design and engineering teams.

Shipped design system or component library work, with a portfolio, case studies, or code samples that explain what you built, how you decided, and how teams adopted it. We cannot consider applications without a portfolio at this time. Strong interaction and visual design skills, with the judgment to know when to use an established pattern and when to invent one. Experience with design tokens, theming, and accessibility standards. AI tools in your regular practice (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Figma Make), with shipped work you can attribute to them, and experience connecting them to a design system.
