Phil LennonHi, I’m Phil.

I build design systems, ship product, and get teams working with AI agents.

Day one or year five, I’ll build the thing with you, write the decisions down as we go, and stick around until that’s how everyone works, agents too.

What I do

Working with agents

Your agents will work the way your team does.

Giving everyone a chat window is a fair first step. Next, I’ll help you write the specs and skills that let agents take on real work.

How I work with agents

Design systems

Your teams will use the system, because they helped shape it.

An agent can draw a component in minutes now. So I spend my time with your designers and engineers, agreeing the tokens and the rules, and measuring adoption.

How I build design systems

Product engineering

Your product ships, and your team knows it inside out.

I join your team as a senior or lead engineer, from prototype to production. Tests and monitoring go in from the start, so launch day is calm.

Many product teams were each building their own UI, so brand and accessibility had drifted apart. I came in as the first engineer on a team of designers, and built one system with them, joining Figma to code: the tokens, a React component library and the documentation.

Biodiversify

An environmental consultancy needed a Japanese-language site they could edit themselves, without losing the typography or the speed. I kept every page prerendered and put WordPress behind the build, so they can publish without a developer.

This site, built with agents

Agents wrote nearly all of this site’s code, and I reviewed it. They built it from issues I’d triaged with them and decisions I’d written down first, and I ruled on whatever they couldn’t decide.

Notes

What I’ve learned on the job, written down to share.

I’m writing the first ones now, and they’ll be here soon.

Available from October 2026. Currently thinking about what a team’s agents should read before they write any code.
