Getting StartedIntroduction

A senior experience designer building the systems behind PayPal.

I lead the Design Systems practice for PayPal.com, the company's primary consumer web experience. I define the tokens, components, and patterns that ship to hundreds of millions customers every day. This portfolio is built the same way my systems are: every page a documented component, every project a versioned release.
