FORMULATING A
STRUCTURAL UX

UX/UI DESIGNER & FRONTEND DEV

Hello world, my name is Sam Nevarez

My goal is to foster collaboration, enhance dynamics between cross-functional teams, and forge a relationship between design and frontend development by formulating design systems within an organization; ultimately enriching the user experiences and quality of digital products.

ABOUT ME ↓

About

I specialize in UX strategy and frontend development. I prioritize both visual appeal and technical excellence in my design approach while championing user experience. I'm dedicated to exceptional work and supporting my team's goals. Integrity and transparency guide me, empowering others professionally and personally.

I enjoy working remotely collaborating with my teams, synchronizing with schedules and daily scrums.

Beyond work, I enjoy camping, kettlebell training, and composing film scores. I also participate in the existential pleasures of indulging in tacos.

My Projects


Herbalife

Design Ops - Figma Librarian

At Herbalife, I led the development and governance of a scalable design system to support Product Landing Pages (PLPs) and Product Detail Pages (PDPs) across multiple regions and teams. From a UX/UI standpoint, I focused on streamlining high-variance component experiences, ensuring visual consistency, accessibility, and performance across critical user flows. My work was grounded in conversion optimization, responsive design principles, and user-centered scalability.

As a Design Ops Figma Librarian, I implemented structured workflows for versioning, branching, and merging components. I maintained the master component library, facilitated naming conventions, and standardized property usage to ensure clarity and handoff quality for designers and developers. I also collaborated closely with engineers to align tokens, states, and component behaviors—bridging design and development through clean documentation and design reviews.
