Selected work
Five projects: a design system built across four languages, AI products for a newsroom, and a
self-directed project I run alone. The write-ups land here as each one is finished, so a few are
still being drafted.
Started in design in 2013, spent 2016 to 2018 in product management roles, and returned to
design in 2018. The work I want to be known for sits in decomposing the product problem,
visualizing the direction, and orchestrating the execution.
Shyam handed us a tokenized system in about a month, and then spent the year that mattered making it true. He named the gaps the rest of us were stepping around, and the design org is more legible for it.

We shipped a hairy migration with no doc to lean on, and his tokens held. He builds for the people who read the system after he leaves.

Most designers I hand a vague problem to give me a screen. Shyam gives me the roadmap argument first, then the screen, and the order is the whole point.
