Design Systems
Design systems beyond component libraries. These are systems for economic behavior and AI workflows.
My Approach
Traditional design systems focus on buttons, colors, and spacing. Those matter, but they're table stakes. The systems I build address deeper challenges:
- Behavioral patterns: How users interact with AI outputs, trust calibration, and feedback loops
- Economic mechanics: Tokenomics, reward systems, and incentive structures that scale
- Cross-platform consistency: Unified experiences across Discord, Telegram, web, and mobile
- Engineering alignment: Components that map to API structures and data models
Featured: Vitronomics Design System
When I designed the Vitreus tokenomics model, I wasn't designing screens-I was designing economic behavior.
The challenge: How do you let consumers use an open blockchain while giving businesses enterprise-stable pricing on the same chain? Most L1s force everyone into the same volatile fee market.
The insight: We already had a two-token architecture (VTRS for governance, VNRG for utility). The solution was in what we'd already built-we just needed to design the mechanics.
The solution: VNRG becomes the predictable fuel layer. Businesses pre-purchase VNRG at stable rates; consumers earn it through staking. Same chain, different pricing models. This isn't a UI pattern-it's economic behavior encoded in smart contracts.
Published as the Vitronomics whitepaper. The system design predicts economic behavior before a single line of UI code is written.
