Design System Specialist in Zurich

Louis Henrich is a Design System Specialist based in Zurich, Switzerland. He builds and scales design systems — component libraries, design tokens, documentation, and governance — so design and engineering teams ship consistent, accessible products faster. Today he accelerates that work with AI.

What a Design System Specialist does

A design system is the single source of truth that keeps a product consistent as teams and surfaces grow. A Design System Specialist owns:

• Component libraries — reusable, well-documented UI components in Figma and code.
• Design tokens — a shared language for color, type, spacing, and theming across platforms.
• Documentation & governance — usage guidelines, contribution models, and versioning that keep the system healthy.
• Design-to-dev handoff — a smooth bridge between designers and engineers, from brand portals to production code.

Design systems accelerated with AI

Louis uses AI to speed up the slow, repetitive parts of design system work — pattern creation, documentation, governance checks, and consistency audits — while keeping human oversight on craft, accessibility, and intent. The result is a system that scales without losing quality.

Selected design system work

Louis has built and led design systems for Rabobank (banking app for the German and Belgian markets), Rakuten Kobo (merging two digital reading platforms with improved accessibility), and Deutsche Telekom (Magenta Smart Home). His perspective on design systems has been published by Horizont, PAGE Online, and iBusiness.
