Andes Design System
Technical lead on the design system behind Mercadolibre: 18 countries, three platforms, one library.
Case study available on request
The screens are Mercadolibre's, so they don't go on a public site. I'm happy to walk through the system, the governance model and the audit workflow directly.

The impact
Commerce, fintech and shipping products across Mercadolibre are built from one library.
Context
Andes is Mercadolibre's source of truth. I owned its foundations and component definitions, and brought AI into how it audits itself.
What I did
- 01
Foundations — tokens, spacing, type and motion, agreed once and governing the product suite.
- 02
Cross-platform parity — one component API, shipped identically on iOS, Android and Web, worked out with engineering.
- 03
Maintenance at scale — additions, deprecations and migrations in a library hundreds of designers open daily.
- 04
AI in the systems practice — prompt-driven audits that catch drift in Figma before it ships.
