What does it mean to build a truly international account? Is it to be able to hold many currencies? Sure.
Speak your language? Well, now you’re talking – literally.
Redesigning Design Systems
25 MAY, 2023
You learn a lot over 7 years specialising in a field. Here are some of my lessons and practical guidance from a career of designing, redesigning and debranding Design Systems.
About me.
I’ve worked across many areas of design. From print, to web, and even to front end for a brief moment. All of these paths eventually led me to Design Systems, which I’ve been doing for the last 6 years.
I would describe myself as a hands on systematic designer, with strong knowledge in technical implementation and accessibility practices.
Along side working in design systems, I’m passionate about teaching and training others to improve their skills in both tooling and systems.
Some other fun stuff
My more recent career

So far at Wise — I've led foundational product and marketing updates on a systems level for digital assets and typography in their global rebrand.
I also created an onboarding series for new designers, implemented core templates and patterns to keep consistency across product. Whilst, continuiously supporting product teams.
