Amazon Web Services

Systems Designer • 2024–2026

I single-handedly built a new state-of-the-art website design library for AWS.com. The library has a massive reach, providing up to 30,000 inserts per week on over 100 Figma teams, for a website that reaches over 1 million visits daily. In the year following migration to the new system, positive customer feedback increased from 56.15% to 73.00%.

I continued to serve a 2 year contract with AWS as the sole systems designer on the team. I maintained the library through the company’s transition into the Aura Design System, perpetually updating it with new designs and improved function.

Working directly under the Sr. Manager of UX, I organized cross-displine to connect team members in design, development, and page authorship to the library. This role demanded confident communication, executive decision-making, and absolute mastery of Figma's ever-evolving systems features.
