Ricoh Design-dev Unified

A unified design system for an suite of apps.

Three colorful logos on a white background: 'DocTrace' in orange with a document icon, 'POP' in pink with a heart icon, and 'WinWin' in light blue with a ribbon icon. These represent different applications in the unified design system.
Landing page for DocTrace, featuring the slogan 'Send Traced Files, Like a Boss.' The design includes a stylized illustration of a person with geometric shapes, a purple call-to-action button, and a clean, modern layout with pastel color accents.
Three mobile app interface mockups side by side, displaying a cohesive design. The screens show task lists, chat functionality, and project management features. The design uses a purple accent color and includes icons for different types of tasks and communication.
An illustrated collaboration scene with stylized figures of people interacting for the WinWin web application. Floating around them are colorful chat bubbles, icons, and geometric shapes. The illustration style is minimalist with a focus on human interaction and digital communication.
Multiple views of the POP web application interface, stacked upon one another. The main content area shows a slide titled 'How to befriend a unicorn' with vibrant purple styling. The interface includes various UI elements such as a sidebar for slide navigation, editing tools, and a space for presenter notes. Additional elements like hearts & question marks floating up, showing how viewer can interact with presenter's presentations, adding a playful touch to the design.

About me

I'm not your typical designer or dev—love of design & craft led me to dive deep into Japanese aesthetics and crafts, and to have lived half of my life in Japan, mostly in Kyoto ⛩️.

I'm obsessed with crafting elegant, user-centric websites and applications. I live for design systems, web components & the future of the open web. UX research, collaboration, and design-thinking workshops allow me to merge team insights with user needs, driving the design and development process forward. ❤️
