Skills
The areas I go deep on. Each one has its own page — what it is, how I approach it, and the problems it solves.
Design tokens
Three-tier token architecture, naming and theming, built to travel from Figma to every platform you ship on.
Figma systems
Variables, component architecture and library management — plus custom plugins when the work is too repetitive to do by hand.
Accessibility
WCAG 2.2 AA audits and remediation, with focus and state baked into tokens so accessibility survives the next redesign.
Front-end engineering
HTML, CSS and JavaScript from first principles — web components, React, zero-runtime CSS and Astro — all consuming tokens.
UX research and design
Interviews, wireframes, prototypes and usability testing — the design judgment that keeps a system solving real problems.
AI-assisted design workflows
Figma MCP, agent-built components and documentation written for both people and language models.
Japanese / bilingual work
Six years living and working in Japan — Japanese clients, bilingual products and localization that reads naturally.
