# Hugh Berryman > At Freeport-McMoRan, I work end to end—from user research and product design through design systems and code—to align operators, product partners, and engineers around model-informed decisions people can challenge. Design Engineer in Phoenix, Arizona. Contact: hugh.g.berryman@gmail.com, https://linkedin.com/in/hughberryman.

I owned the color and component-state foundations for MDS 2.0, a 1,830-variable Figma library connected to Flutter through Code Connect. Metric: 1,830 Figma variables across nine collections. - [MIRA 2.0](https://hughberryman.com/work/mira): Making a model's recommendation arguable. 2024—25. MIRA recommends operating changes in a molybdenum leach circuit. After onsite research, I designed a review flow that shows operators the forecast, current setting, and consequence of accepting, adjusting, or rejecting each recommendation. Metric: ~20% lower recommended fresh-ferric addition than the legacy bleed calculator — Monitored seven-day comparison, internal tracking. - [ServiceNow employee portal](https://hughberryman.com/work/servicenow): A design system for a platform we did not control. 2025. Employees were misrouting support tickets because the portal exposed IT's service taxonomy instead of the language people used. ## Earlier work Selected evidence connected to the employment record. The portfolio hosts the context and imagery; Dribbble remains linked as the original public archive. - [Centro](https://hughberryman.com/#work-archive-centro): Tribal Credit, 2020—23. Design system. I created Tribal's first shared component and token system—the starting point for design-to-code work I later carried into Storybook, Code Connect, and model-readable guidance.

Product platform. I designed the cards, payments, reporting, and navigation workflows that connected Tribal's expense platform across web and mobile.

I co-founded Whoin, designed the product, and built its React Native app from concept through release.

[Localization lab](https://hughberryman.com/pseudo) derives accented, bracketed, expanded interface strings from the English dictionary and can mirror the same page between LTR and RTL. The lab is noindex and excluded from hreflang and the sitemap. ## Theme lab [Theme lab](https://hughberryman.com/theme) applies Paper, Sonoran, and Blueprint families in light and dark modes to the real portfolio. All six expressions remap the same semantic surface, text, rule, accent, and focus roles; the selection persists across pages and is restored before first paint. ## Full text - [llms-full.txt](https://hughberryman.com/llms-full.txt): every case study in full, including all decisions with their tradeoffs and outcomes, plus the complete employment record. - [sitemap.xml](https://hughberryman.com/sitemap.xml): canonical English pages only; the noindex pseudo lab is intentionally omitted.
