Noelle builds design systems that deliver immediate wins & an enduring product vision.

Thoughts

“Design systems are 90% people.”

If you’ve met Noelle, you’ve probably heard her say, “Design systems are 90% people. If you figure that part out, the other 10% is easy.”

Because of this, Noelle focuses on team alignment and short-term wins first. Then, she leads teams towards an expertly-crafted long-term product vision. Through her guidance, organizations can ship their dream digital products sooner and have them last longer.

Noelle is the Founder & Owner of Shep, a design system consultancy. She has shipped design systems from stealth startups to global Fortune 500 companies. She knows every organization is unique and tailors custom solutions for each team she works with.

She is an active leader in the design system community and is an Into Design Systems chapter organizer in Columbus, Ohio.
