River Romney

I'm a Principal Designer with ten years specializing in complex B2B systems: design systems infrastructure, decision tooling, and the compliance-heavy surfaces enterprise teams rely on daily.

My work lives at the intersection of policy, data, and enterprise UX. I care about making the invisible legible by surfacing the rules, states, and edge cases that software usually buries. The best design systems work looks quiet on the surface and holds up under real pressure.

I bring a systems-first mindset to every project. I'm as fluent architecting a component library as I am co-authoring a product brief, running a research sprint, or negotiating token governance with engineering leads.
