Selected Case Studies

01

A design-system MCP, and no engineers to build it

Originated an MCP that made BMW's design system queryable at runtime, so AI coding assistants could reach approved components, tokens, and guidance instead of improvising.

Building AI capability across a global design community

Proposed and led AI4UX, an enterprise AI enablement programme for BMW Group’s design community, turning scattered tools and guidance into use cases, learning tracks, responsible-use support, and one shared destination for 1,200+ designers.

Automating IDE and MCP setup for designers

Most designers had never opened an IDE, and the ones who had were afraid of breaking something. I built a setup repository that checked their machine, installed missing tools, verified their environment, and helped them create a working Angular project from the design-system boilerplate.

Standardizing Figma files for handoff, onboarding, and AI

A reusable Figma starter file that helped designers start faster, keep project files organised, prepare cleaner developer handoffs, and make design files easier for AI-assisted workflows to interpret.

Measuring UX maturity to decide where enablement goes

BMW TechWorks India was growing quickly, and product teams had very different levels of UX support. I helped run the India adoption of a global UX maturity framework so leadership and DesignOps could see where teams needed standards, measurement, training, or hands-on support.

ABOUT
I make design systems machine-readable — and teach 1,200 designers to build with agents.

I lead design operations and AI enablement at BMW Group’s India technology hub, 11+ years into a career across Canada and India. I originated the design-system MCP server that won the group’s agentic-AI competition, and founded an AI enablement programme now serving 1,200+ designers.
