Ness Grixti — Design Systems Lead & Consultant Open main menu Case studies About Articles Learn I make and teach Design Systems 👋🏻 I’m Ness, a design systems specialist with 17 years of experience in product design, including 9 years focused on design systems. I’m currently a Design System Lead at Wise, where my work centres on building and scaling systems that support complex organisations and growing teams. Over the years, I’ve worked on many different types of design systems, including branded systems, multi-branded systems and even a white label system (oof 😅). Alongside my day-to-day work, I wrote the handbook for creating Design System components 📘 , and I’ve been building a growing collection of practical tactics 🛠️ to help others tackle real-world system challenges, one clear, actionable step at a time. If you’d like help with a design system, feel free to get in touch.
