I'm a design engineer based in Philadelphia with a focus in building UI for web apps. Over my career I've worked with different companies to create design systems, bridging the gap between design and engineering to ensure best-in-class user experience and front-end infrastructure.
I'm currently looking for my next position. If you think I'd be a good fit for your company, please reach out at sayhi@helenvholmes.com.
