Design Systems

Hey, I'm Ness

I have 17 years design experience, 8 in systems. My goal is to empower and educate others to level up their Design System thinking.

I’ve built many different types of Systems — including multi-product platforms, branded Systems, even a white label system — oof. More recently I led foundational system updates in the global rebrand for Wise.
