Designer of digital products, apps, and experiences.

Wielding an array of UX, UI, frontend, and branding skills, I’m a valuable teammate in software design and development from 0-to-1 and beyond. I enjoy working in a variety of problem spaces, gathering feedback directly from users, diving head-first into the technical bits, and synthesizing it all into elegantly-designed apps and product features.

I built this site in the wee hours of the morning and in the calm of night, mostly as a way to learn Astro. I styled everything with Tailwind which was delightful to use. The site is deployed to Vercel and media is hosted on Bunny. The type family used throughout is the subtlely showy Mint by Lift Type. Icons are from Phosphor icons. The index page background gradient feature is a based on Charm UI.
