• Create sustainable extensions of the core design system to support emerging creative expression and enable differentiated, cohesive experiences.
• Develop and deliver educational programming tailored to the maturity and context of our Commerce XD partners to support better system adoption and usage.
• Support scalable adoption strategies which address the unique testing requirements set by the Commerce team.
• Establish scalable methods to assess and track design system adoption.
• Champion the design system by advocating best practices and providing real-time support through office hours and Slack.

• Recognized as a trusted partner and mentor, fostering growth and collaboration by empowering peers and cross-functional teams to adopt best practices and deliver scalable design solutions.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity while bringing clarity to challenges that span design, technology, and business needs.
