Beth Cartrette
I’m a UI Engineer and Design Systems Specialist focused on building accessible, production-ready interfaces that bridge design and code.
What I Do
Design Systems
Design tokens, theming, and scalable component architecture. From Figma variables to CSS / Tailwind, I build systems that are consistent, extensible, and ready for production.
Frontend UI
Clean, responsive interfaces built with React and Next.js. Stateful components, thoughtful interactions, and code that’s readable, maintainable, and production-ready.
Accessibility
Semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, and screen-reader support by default. Interfaces designed to be inclusive, usable, and neurodivergent-friendly—not as an afterthought.
Selected Work
BendyBethC Design System
How do you stop a design system from drifting away from its Figma file? Case study.
BendyBethC Website
A live site and a 34-component design system, built in code by one person, with 13 checks that fail the build and two WCAG 2.2 audits.
Beth Tasks
A command center for my own tasks, projects and calendar that only shows the one thing to do next.
Health OS
What does a records app look like when it is built for the worst day, not the average one? Case study.
Second Brain Agent
Deciding when an AI agent may act on its own and when it has to stop and show me first.
Case Study Template
A facts sheet that says MISSING when it does not know, and a Figma template to pour it into.
ADHD Meds Tracker
Personal health tracking interface designed to support daily medication routines. Built with accessibility, cognitive load, and real-life usability in mind, combining clean UI, thoughtful dose tracking, and time-of-day cues so each day’s doses are clear at a glance.
Rachel Lee Site
Content-first, accessible website built for a patient advocacy organization. Focused on clarity, semantic structure, and usability across assistive technologies.
BethCNC Design System
The minimal restrained design system built and used for this portfolio.
About
I’m a UI engineer and design systems specialist. I work inside design systems end to end: tokens and variables in Figma, component libraries with variants and auto layout, and the React and CSS that ship them.
Six live products built and maintained solo in the last two years, with accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) built in from the start.
Based in North Carolina, working remote.
