Design Systems Architect • Design Technologist • Experimental Builder. NY - USA

I am currently serving as the Design System Architect at BPCE Group. (wikipedia).

Over three decades at the intersection of design and code, I’ve held many titles — Art Director, UX Strategist, Front‑End Principal, Design Technologist, Product Designer, and Design Systems Architect, Yet every chapter has pursued the same mission: sparking inventive momentum.
I lead multidisciplinary teams — from managing design teams within large corporations to directing small, nimble creative studios. Whether mentoring cross-functional squads or steering the vision as a studio founder, I thrive on aligning people and purpose.
I architect enterprise‑scale design systems, mentor cross‑functional teams, and contribute to open‑source libraries. My toolkit spans Figma and Glyphs to the command line, and code.
I’ve delivered mobile and web apps used by millions. — Whether refining variable‑font micro‑icons or crafting immersive WebGL scrollytelling with Three.js.
Today, I channel that blend of vision, hands-on craft, and pragmatic problem-solving into products and people.
Additionally, I contribute to the design tooling ecosystem, authoring plugins for Figma and Sketch, and exploring open‑source alternatives like Penpot to streamline workflows and empower design teams.
On weekends, you’ll find me tinkering with plotter machines that turn algorithms into ink, or taming generative AIs to conjure brand‑new images.

Say Hey!

I’m always happy to be involved in interesting projects.

I set aside one hour each week for free design consultations, available to non‑profit organizations for brainstorming new challenges and more.
