Design systems, built to scale.
I'm Carlos Borghes, a design systems architect based in London with 12+ years of experience. I streamline design-to-code workflows and build agentic systems that learn, propose, and ship.
- Centri Living ShowcaseTurned the system into something the team actually reads. Live component pages, design ops analytics, token maps, docs that derive themselves.2026Platform
- Centri Design EcosystemA design system that keeps itself in sync. A lint gate, a versioned registry and an MCP server turn every Figma change into docs, code and specs for people and AI agents.2026Ecosystem
- KestrelA job-search platform I built for myself: it finds offers across twenty-two sources, scores them with rules I can read, prepares the CV and the letter, and fills in application forms without ever sending them for me.2026Platform
- NetBet Design SystemA design system and a modular campaign framework for an iGaming operator. Cut asset production time by around 70%.2024System
- Kestrel Agentic SystemA design system that gives agents context. Semantic tokens, real components and documented decisions connect design, implementation and review in one shared workspace.2026System
I'm drawn to the work most people skip.
I started twelve years ago as a web designer who could not help touching the markup, chasing the seams between the canvas and the running product. What draws me to design systems is the same thing that draws me to agentic tooling: leverage. A token saves a thousand decisions, an agent saves a thousand handoffs, and most of the work I'm proud of is invisible by design.
