GitHub Sponsors Profile

I am a Design Systems Architect specializing in crafting experiences for companies of any size with hand-tailored solutions to meet the needs of their organization. I am the author of gridless.design; a thesis on mismatching the design grid to the web medium. I am a member of the NYC chapter IxDA. I teach User Research and Interaction Design at Parsons School of Design. I am currently the engineering lead for the UXCore library at GoDaddy where I am responsible for maintaining a consistent experience for over 20 million customers. Previously, I was the first UX Engineer at Compass, eventually building their design systems team and maintaining their library of components and design tokens.
A sponsorship helps me execute on projects aimed to help the design systems community. Here's a list of ideas that have yet to become available:

[ ] A tool to stringify screen reader output for accessibility assertion.
[ ] A tool to import components as symbols into modern design apps. (a la html-sketchapp).
[ ] A tool to write documentation inside of a design app to be published in documentation sites.
