Howdy! I'm Alice. I do design operations, and especially love design systems work. "Design program manager" or "Product designer, design systems" are titles that best capture what I enjoy most: getting your UX team a strong tool stack, building (and teaching others how to build) resilient Figma components, and co-crafting excellent documentation. Whatever they need to make them stoked to fire up their computers is what I want to cook up.
I want to help your UX team fall in love with their craft all over again. I'm interested in roles that let me build internal tools and resources (like Figma components and Coda docs), optimize processes, and make UXers' day-to-day experiences awesome. I enjoy helping people get good work done and have a good time doing it.
This can take many shapes depending on the team's needs. If you want to see how I do this for my current team, check out my resume and portfolio pieces.
I've built thousands of Figma components for UX teams. I care about component usability, for customers and designers. I give a damn about naming, file hygiene, and building systems that last. I've also got loads of experience building templates and internal tools for UX researchers. I'm talking end-to-end research process support. From planning a study, to capturing data, alllll the way to wrapping the learnings up in handsome presentation decks. I love pairing with designers and researchers in their day to day work so I can see first hand what's working and what's not.
