About

I've spent the last seven years moving between design and engineering, which means I design things I can actually build, and build things worth designing well.

I care most about the moments users don't notice: the form that doesn't lose their data, the loading state that doesn't feel like waiting, the error message that tells them what to do next.

Outside of work, I teach a weekend design workshop for career-changers and I'm slowly learning to sail.
