Hi, I'm Ashley!
I specialize in elevating design systems through strategy, education, and tooling to empower teams and drive adoption. As the Design Systems Enablement Lead at Capital One and senior product designer, I lead the training and tooling transformation for both humans and AI in our design system.
Outside of work, I am inspired by dancing, painting, and joyful movement. Find out more about my art practice.

Extra! Extra!
My favorite art medium is watercolor, in particular Japanese pigments called "Gansai" (not to be confused with bonsai)!
Cooking is my love language, and most recently I've been dabbling in homemade rosemary sourdough, dumplings, and any kind of soup. Ask me about food anytime!
I've danced since I was little, and have taught salsa dancing classes at my studio! The Creative Habit by modern dance choreographer Twyla Tharp inspired my approach to creative thinking and living.
