Hi, I’m Jalena! Driven to create accessible and internationalized design systems.
📣 “I worked hand in hand with Jalena developing and growing the design system, and she is an absolute joy to work with. Her keen understanding of user needs, accessibility concerns, and best design practices always resulted in meaningful conversations that led to better components.”
I focus on the process, governance and adoption of design systems for designers, developers, and the company.🎉
