Hi, I’m Ruby, a Design Systems Manager with a unique blend of design and development expertise. My journey began in grade school, teaching myself design with freeware like GIMP and Inkscape (eventually replaced by Adobe licenses, thanks to my parents). I took a similar approach to learning code, using whatever I could find on the internet to replicate on my own. I eventually earned a BFA in Graphic Design in 2016 and began my career.

My path has been anything but linear. Starting out in front-end development, I reentered design as a UX designer after a few years and have since built a career focused on creating scalable design systems and intuitive, user-centered solutions. I approach challenges by breaking them into parts, understanding how they connect, and delivering clear, actionable results.

Outside of work, I design and sell premium keyboard kits—blending CAD engineering, 3D rendering, and branding to craft stunning products.
