Systems for people and the agents that work beside them.

I design the rules underneath the interface: how content is structured, and what people and agents are allowed to do with it. At Group 1001 that meant a multi-brand design system, its guideline book, and a plugin that turns prototypes into Angular code.

This whole site runs on a token system like the one I built at Group 1001. Pick one and every font, color, corner, and spacing value changes.

The token and component system behind several insurance brands at Group 1001, with a pipeline into the front-end repo and scoped AI review.

Foundations

Color

Semantic tokens. Components use these names, never raw values, so every brand and theme swaps cleanly.

How I work

Statement

  • text
may
quote verbatim
may not
reword it as a quote

I decide what the user controls, what engineering guarantees, and what a model is allowed to do. Then I design the interface around it.
