Vetted Design Systems Professionals

“UX/Product Designer with experience redesigning a complex enterprise Video Management System (VMS), focusing on the configuration experience—improving flows with dashboards while modernizing UI without breaking legacy users’ mental models. Uses field observation, UX audits, and extensive user testing, and collaborates closely with engineers (HTML/CSS/JS familiarity) to ensure feasibility—e.g., pivoting notification designs from push to widgets based on technical constraints.”

“Creative designer/UX designer with a sales background who positions themselves as a strategic translator between growth/UA needs and brand craft. Portfolio examples include a high-polish Facebook UI concept redesign focused on calm, clarity, and accessibility, plus a human-centered wellness app emphasizing trust, privacy, and reduced cognitive load. Also builds scalable Figma systems and modular video/template workflows for high-volume marketing output.”

“Product/UX designer who built a cloud-based data management and visualization system for healthcare and manufacturing, translating script-driven and highly technical workflows into guided, step-based experiences. Strong in progressive disclosure, role-based defaults, and trust-building UI patterns, with hands-on prototyping in Figma and close design-engineering collaboration (HTML/CSS, component systems, working TypeScript familiarity) to ship scalable, accessible designs.”

“Front-end engineer with significant ownership of a large-scale TypeScript application for a federal healthcare program, serving analysts and administrators under strict CMS and WCAG/508 requirements. Stands out for combining deep browser-performance work, accessibility remediation of 100+ issues, and modernization of legacy code into a reusable, well-tested Angular architecture with over 90% automated test coverage.”

“Marketing creative designer with both high-polish design and end-to-end video production experience, including leading Workhuman event collateral across landing page/print/deck and producing a Special Olympics Unified Sports episodic social video series. Currently rebuilding a scalable Figma-based newsletter design system optimized for high-volume output across desktop/mobile and light/dark modes with accessibility baked in.”

“Frontend engineer who led end-to-end delivery of a Vite/React/GraphQL/MUI SPA with feature-based, layered architecture and strong quality gates (TypeScript strict, CI, testing, a11y). Built a large analytics dashboard using microfrontends and multiple state management approaches, including integrating with a legacy PHP host via window-object communication, and managed safe rollouts with LaunchDarkly plus Datadog usage/session-replay monitoring.”
