Jun 2018 - Jul 2020
I was responsible for developing, building and leading Rangle’s UI Architecture practice. UI Architecture is the helpful mortar that bridges the gap between design and development. Our mandate was to champion a strategic approach to UI development and look for architectural patterns that make it easier to scale good design. I also collaborated with the business development and client partner teams to define strategies for how to address client needs with our specialty practices. Also, how these practices fit into Rangle’s broader offering. For example, I developed a go-to-market strategy for design systems — how can teams use it to scale their design practice, what value it brings to organizations and our approach to building design systems.
