“During his tenure at Smurfit Westrock, Julian was pivotal in leading the UI design efforts and building a comprehensive enterprise design system, all while demonstrating an exceptional commitment to accessibility and cross-functional collaboration. Julian's work in creating our enterprise design system was outstanding. He not only centralized and documented the system, but he also ensured it was fully integrated into Figma libraries, which included our branding guidelines and best usability practices. What truly set Julian apart was his ability to work seamlessly with front-end developers throughout the entire design process. His deep understanding of development workflows allowed him to tokenize components in a way that made them easily implementable by developers, ensuring that design consistency was maintained across all platforms. This strong partnership with the development team earned him high praise for creating a design system that was not only user-friendly but developer-friendly as well. One of Julian’s strongest assets was his ability to foster collaboration between design and development teams. He worked closely with front-end developers from the outset, ensuring their input was incorporated into the design system. By doing so, he helped streamline the development process, reducing friction and enabling faster, more efficient implementation of UI components. In addition, Julian’s commitment to accessibility was an essential part of his approach. He ensured that our products were inclusive and accessible to all users, adhering to the highest accessibility standards. His passion for designing for all users, regardless of ability, was evident in the attention to detail he put into every aspect of the design system. Julian also has a strong background in UI development, which further enhanced his effectiveness in leading design initiatives. His experience in this area allowed him to approach projects with a holistic view, understanding both the design and technical constraints. This perspective made him an invaluable resource when it came to troubleshooting and refining the design system to meet both user needs and technical requirements.”
