Designer, art director, and occasional front-end engineer.

I started out in editorial design, setting type for magazines that lived and died by the strength of a single spread. That training never left me — I still think in grids, contrast and hierarchy, and I still believe the best interface is the one you barely notice.

Over the last nine years I've led design at two venture-backed startups, art-directed brand launches, and built design systems used by teams across three continents. In 2022 I went independent so I could stay close to the craft and the people I work with — no account layer, no telephone game, just the work.

Today I partner with a small number of teams each year on the projects that matter most to them: the new product, the rebrand, the flagship site. I design it, and increasingly I build it too — so the thing that ships is the thing that was promised.
