Vincent AngTwenty years of UX design and front-end engineering, now run as an AI-amplified practice. I design the system, art-direct the world, and build the product that holds both.
Open to design systems, product, and frontend engineering roles — and creative technologist work

Design systems · AI-assisted workflow
I use AI to accelerate the design system process without losing structure, consistency, or judgment. My workflow covers context gathering, foundation extraction, token definition, component building, documentation, and validation.

Foundry Series · Self-initiated
Each is a complete brand — its own palette, typeface, voice, and interaction idea — art-directed, written, and shipped end to end. The series is open, and every new world has to earn its own identity rather than inherit one.
The amplification
The interesting problem is not making one striking site. It is governing a growing series of them so each is genuinely its own world, and every one still answers to the same judgment.
Foundry is an open series of independently art-directed sites — separate palettes, typefaces, grids, voices, content models, and interaction ideas, and no shared token values between them. What they do share is the schema those tokens are written in, the pipeline that compiles them, a critique loop, and an accessibility floor none of them is allowed to fall through. The system is the structure, not the palette.
That is the part agents made possible. I direct them across research, art direction, implementation, and critique, and the constraints live in writing — a design doctrine per world, a contrast contract, asset budgets, a review pass — so speed never becomes the thing deciding how the work looks. The speed is new; the responsibility is not. I frame the problem, set the rules, inspect the evidence, and throw away most of what comes back.

“A system should leave room for fingerprints.”
Design system
I believe in design systems. Rather than just talking about them, here’s a quick demo of how a governed, token-driven design system keeps components and styles in sync and lets one source of truth drive the entire theme. The type scale below is generated from that source rather than described, so it cannot claim a scale this site does not use. Try re-skinning the site live in the , or open the full system — the ten-step type scale, and the four breakpoints that a build check will fail the site for going outside of.

Method
Open to new work
Most teams split design systems, product engineering, and art direction across three roles and then spend the rest of the project reconciling them. I have spent twenty years on that seam, and agents have made it something one person can now hold end to end.
If any of that is what you are hiring for, I would like to hear about it.
