A close up head-shot portrait of Alice, looking directly into the camera. She's very pale, keeps her dark brunette hair short, has green eyes, wears transparent, thin-framed round glasses, and has a lazy eye (which thankfully isn't drifting as much as usual in this photo). Though she's not smiling, she's trying to put out a friendly vibe with her eyes.

I'm taking a break publishing new content until January. More details here!

Alice Packard

📍 Washington, DC
I am actively seeking a new full-time role. hit me up.

I'm a senior design systems manager (I manage the pixels and processes, not the people).

For a while I was doing design operations. I enjoyed home-brewing UX research repositories, glowing-up onboarding experiences, but was always most proud of my work as a Figma component librarian. Or janitor... both? Yeah, both. So DS work is where I'm concentrating my career right now. You can read about my work on my portfolio.

I'm opinionated about my tool stack. I've committed a lot of time to understand not just the mechanics of each Figma feature, but how to employ them strategically. This gets me the most out of my Figma license today, and prepares me for whatever tool will come next.

I also keep a blog about building excellent Figma components, and working smarter in the tool. If you want to nerd out with me about Figma I'd love to have you on my newsletter list. If you just want to chat, get in my inbox! Seeing a note from you will brighten my day 💖 I love meeting folks from the internet, and being a helper.
