I design and build the layer where people, models, and code have to agree.

At Freeport-McMoRan, I work end to end—from user research and product design through design systems and code—to align operators, product partners, and engineers around model-informed decisions people can challenge.

  1. MDS 2.0 / FORGE2025—26

    A design system that an AI can read

    I owned the color and component-state foundations for MDS 2.0, a 1,830-variable Figma library connected to Flutter through Code Connect. I then framed FORGE, an experimental pipeline that reduces legacy screens to structured JSON for model-assisted modernization.

    ⟦Ḿÿ šçöþë · ·⟧

    Owned the color foundation, component-state matrices, and button Code Connect mapping; framed the experimental modernization pipeline built on top.

  2. MIRA 2.02024—25

    Making a model's recommendation arguable

    MIRA recommends operating changes in a molybdenum leach circuit. After onsite research, I designed a review flow that shows operators the forecast, current setting, and consequence of accepting, adjusting, or rejecting each recommendation.

    ⟦Ḿÿ šçöþë · ·⟧

    Designed the operator-facing experience and information architecture; conducted onsite research at the plant. Data science and engineering owned the model and infrastructure.

  3. ServiceNow employee portal2025

    A design system for a platform we did not control

    Employees were misrouting support tickets because the portal exposed IT's service taxonomy instead of the language people used. I led research across submitters and service teams, redesigned the catalog around request behavior, and delivered tokens and SCSS primitives platform developers could apply across ServiceNow.

    ⟦Ḿÿ šçöþë · ·⟧

    Led research on both sides of the ticket, designed the portal, and wrote the token and SCSS guidance used for implementation.

03⟦Áƀöüţ ·⟧

I'm a design engineer in Phoenix. Since 2024 I've worked on industrial and enterprise software at Freeport-McMoRan, where interfaces support decisions about real equipment and the users are metallurgists and haul-truck fleet managers. The work rewards clarity under load.

The thread through my work is closing loops. Design systems drift when Figma, code, documentation, and model instructions evolve separately. I work at those seams: Figma variables bound to Flutter theme extensions, component rules an AI assistant can follow, and tokens translated into the constraints of an enterprise platform.
