Thinking in Design Systems, Building in Code, Shipping it.
Tomás Milgron
Senior Design Engineer
I started in editorial design in Buenos Aires and ended up building digital products in Barcelona. After almost ten years combining design and code, I work at the exact intersection of both: I think in systems, prototype in code, and ship production frontend code. I obsess over the details that make a product feel right.

About
At Anansi, I built the Design area from scratch and lead the frontend layer. At Taller Oliva, I research how humans and machines collaborate. At IED Barcelona, I teach others to do the same.
My work sits at the intersection of design and engineering. I think in systems, prototype in code, and ship production frontend. The goal is always the same: products that feel right.
I believe the best digital experiences come from people who understand both the craft of design and the reality of implementation.
