Architecting AI-powered design systems
Maker. Agentic systems builder, speaker, educator, and writer.
I'm Cris, a Design Engineer from Chile. Currently at Southleft where I collab with the team building AI-powered design systems on client engagements, and develop internal tooling and workflows as Fractional Design Engineering Partner.
I build pipelines and tooling that optimizes design & code workflows. Developing agent skills, infrastructure, and methodology that makes it real. No translation gaps, no interpretation errors. Just seamless execution between design and code.
TALKS
FRESH THOUGHTS
Building language for design systems
Architecture decisions will shape what you inherit, and what you author.
Design systems are contracts, not libraries
How articulated decisions become the interconnections that hold a system together.
Articulation is design craft
How to build a chain of reasoning that anchors design decisions to business reality.
