About

A fan of web design who's passionate about clean code.

For the past 10+ years I've moved between design tools and code editors — from translating XD wireframes into production React dashboards at a healthcare data company, to leading marketing sites and brand systems at a partnership marketing agency.

I care about the boring parts: requirements gathering, accessibility, consistent component libraries, and pages that load fast on a phone in a parking lot. I also care about the fun parts: type, motion, and the right amount of restraint.
