About

I’m an independent designer/developer focused on building thoughtful, accessible interfaces. My work blends systematic design with robust engineering, emphasizing performance and detail.

I enjoy collaborating with ambitious teams, shipping real products, and teaching along the way. Outside of work, you’ll find me exploring typography, micro‑interactions, and new tools.
