Approach

How I work

01 · AI + systems

AI on a systems foundation

I build AI into products without losing the rigor underneath. Years of architecting and maintaining design systems mean new AI features inherit consistent tokens, components, and patterns, not bolted-on novelty. I keep a clear read on feasibility too, so what I propose is something a team can actually scope and ship.

02 · Decision-making

From ambiguity to shipped

I'm at my best when the brief arrives ambiguous. I break vague requirements into a clear, structured spec, then pressure-test it against user signals and testing rather than taste alone. The result is a direction the team can commit to.

03 · Stakeholders

Stakeholder management

I translate between business goals, design intent, and engineering reality, so the right tradeoffs get made in the open. I set expectations early, surface risks before they become surprises, and keep people aligned from kickoff to launch.

04 · Cross-functional

Cross-functional shipping

I've worked embedded across multiple teams, partnering closely with PMs and POs to take work from idea to release. Wherever I land, I try to raise the bar around me through design reviews, shared standards, and mentoring.

E-Commerce Internship Coming Soon

Jan 2022 to Jul 2022

Shopify Internship

Selected for Shopify's inaugural European design cohort, where I shipped sustainable usability and accessibility solutions into the merchant platform, contributing to a design system used at e-commerce scale.

Practice

Studio

Personal product concepts I'm building toward: defined, scoped, and prototyped. Each links to a full case study.

FluxOps

An AI risk layer for product teams. It catches missing primitives and architectural risk as the PM writes the intent, then structures the PM-to-engineering back-and-forth that resolves each one before the sprint. I designed the flow and the resolution model behind it.

Case Study

Aligna

Paste a Figma file link and a repo URL. AI cross-references design system components against the live DOM, surfaces inconsistencies, and proposes system-wide improvements. I owned the UX and the cross-referencing logic that drives it.

Case Study

CuraCare

Find and book the right doctor, not just any doctor. Search, match, and book specialists in seconds. I designed the end-to-end UX and the matching logic behind it.

What people say

Endorsements

"Rare combination of visual taste and engineering pragmatism. The AI interface they designed became our most-praised product feature."

Jonas K.

CTO · AI Startup

"Working with them felt seamless. They picked up our brand language instantly and the prototype was production-ready from day one."

Lena M.

Design Director · Agency

"They brought structure to chaos, turning three months of ambiguous requirements into a clear, shippable product spec in two weeks."

Tom B.

VP Engineering · InsurTech

"The depth of domain knowledge was impressive. They asked better questions than our internal team and delivered a system that just made sense."

Claudia W.

Product Manager · Enterprise SaaS

"During our time working together Crystal demonstrated a hunger and passion for tackling difficult problems. We collaborated on a project with a lot of ambiguity and she took it on with excitement, worked tirelessly to systematically break down the problem and easily collaborate with others to find solutions. She was able to use her craft and design skills to push the project forward and help make decisions. Not only were her design skills thoughtful and creative but she was positive and eager, pushing forward until she could get the job done."
