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 pirated Adobe software (eventually replaced by a real license, thanks to my parents). Though I initially planned to study astrophysics, I earned a BFA in Graphic Design in 2016 and turned a lifelong passion into a thriving career.

My path has been anything but linear. Starting in front-end development, I reentered design as a UX practitioner 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.
