01 — Practice
These are the areas I take engagement work in — audits, foundation briefs, token architectures, governance setups. Short engagements (audit) through long (multi-quarter system builds). Available for consulting, workshops, or fractional design-system lead arrangements.
01
Primitive → semantic → component. W3C-format catalogs that round-trip with Figma. OKLCH ramps, APCA contrast, multi-brand theming.
02
The right ten components first, the next twenty when surfaces demand them. Shipped as versioned packages, documented at the API level, not the marketing level.
03
RFC processes that don't grind to a halt. Deprecation policies that actually deprecate. Adoption metrics that survive a quarterly review.
04
Five-layer audit framework (token / component / composition / motion / distribution) implemented as a checklist that catches issues at the system level, not the screen level.
02 — What's on the site
Everything here is free and ad-free. The Build playbook (eight chapters) stays free forever. Future paid tracks — Migrate, Scale, Handoff — are clearly separated when they ship.
Get in touch
Engagements run from short audits (2–3 weeks) to multi-quarter system builds. Workshops on token architecture, accessibility, and governance available. Generally happy to spend twenty minutes on a call answering questions for free.
