Maxime Amoudruz résumé
I’m a design systems specialist shaping scalable digital experiences through well-engineered systems. With roots in web design and development since 2013, I connect design, technology, and product to build coherent visual systems, efficient operations, and intuitive user experiences that evolve with the needs of modern product ecosystems.
I bridge creative vision and technical execution—defining principles, processes, and tooling that enable consistent, accessible, and flexible products. From hands-on design to strategic leadership, I align multidisciplinary teams, mentor peers, and scale design operations to deliver measurable, human-centred impact—bringing greater clarity, precision, and momentum without compromising performance.

Capabilities
My work is centred on design systems, including tokens, theming, multi-brand systems, component architecture, and system governance. I view design systems not as a collection of artefacts, but as a people-driven capability that enables consistency, scale, and shared decision-making across organisations—while continuously evolving to support more adaptive and intelligent product ecosystems.
Beyond hands-on design execution, I partner closely with product and engineering by leveraging tools such as Figma (Figma, FigJam, Make), Miro, Jira, or Asana to streamline workflows and reduce operational overhead. By introducing more responsive and automated ways of working, I help teams minimise friction, maintain momentum ahead of development, and reinvest time in higher-value creative and strategic work.
I design and evolve design systems that bring clarity, consistency, and speed to product development—turning fragmented UI work into a shared foundation teams can rely on.
I explore how agentic workflows can assist design systems by automating documentation, accelerating component creation, and making system knowledge easier to access.
A successful system isn’t just designed—it’s adopted. I help teams structure the processes, governance, and roadmaps that allow design systems to grow with the organisation.
My product design background ensures systems support real user experiences. I focus on elegant solutions that improve usability without adding unnecessary complexity.
I leverage modern design and collaboration tools to streamline workflows between design, product, and engineering teams.
