Hey people! I’m Kristina.
A designer, strategist and systems thinker.
I help teams build design systems that scale with clarity, trust and joy. For 20+ years, I’ve worked across product, UX and design ops, helping companies turn chaos into consistency without killing creativity.
This space — Design System Tips — is where I share hard-earned lessons, patterns that work and questions that still matter. If you believe design is more than components and systems are more than tokens, we’ll probably get along.
Find my links and writing below.
Reach out if you want to collaborate — or just nerd out about governance, naming or spacing units that don’t make sense.
