Lead visual and product design for the Design System Database product at Google. Collaborated closely with product and research to design and prototype features that helped teams create or maintain a design system using tokens through web-based tools and Figma-based plugins.
Design system data, like color, was integrated directly into guideline articles combining the token and usage information.Similar to style tokens, component viewers were also integrated into their respective guideline pages.The editing experience provided ways to create, edit, update and delete tokens or token groups.
A series of Figma plugins represented a set of Material user painpoints which became a vehicle for foundational research and a product roadmap.Figma plugin which allows the designer to browse patterns provided by Material Design.Figma plugin which uses AI to “reattach” components or allows the user to submit a new one.Figma plugin which allows syncing between a users design system database and a Figma library.
