Hi, I'm Ross—a seasoned design technologist with over 20 years designing and building products. I've spent the last 7+ years specializing in design systems, notably at Brave and currently at AuditBoard, where I focus on bridging the gap between design and engineering.
Defining the strategy, standards, and AI infrastructure for the Luna design system serving multiple enterprise product teams. Coaching and evangelizing the design system's three-pillar strategy — machine-readable documentation, consistency measurement, and self-governance tooling — adopted by product leadership as the organizational framework for product quality and velocity.
Led a team of 3 building Rippling's cross-platform design system from creation through enterprise-wide adoption. Established creation, maintenance, and documentation workflows, reducing design-to-engineering handoff friction across product teams.
Bridged design and engineering to develop scalable, accessible components for Splunk's enterprise design system. Established shared component APIs and contribution standards that unified disparate team practices across design and engineering.
Led the redesign of the Brave browser and cross-platform design system effort during its Muon-to-Chromium migration, directing UX strategy for core flows impacting millions of users.
