Start with the people who use it
I talk to coaches, managers and HQ before I design, and test with them before we build. Every screen should answer who it's for and what they need to do next.
(01) — Intro
I'm Sabre, a product designer with a product manager's scope. Since 2022 I've designed the software KidStrong's franchise network runs on, including Lighthouse, the operations platform I design solo, and Beacon UI, the design system behind it.

02
A design system is how clarity survives the next fifty features. Every color, space and size traces back to a named token, so design and code speak the same language.
03
Contrast, focus states and keyboard access are part of the design, not polish at the end. I check them in every release.
