About me

The designer who can read the codebase.

During my university years I kept hitting the same wall: the designs we received from graphic designers were beautiful but hard to build. and just as often they didn't actually meet users' needs. That double gap, between how a design looks on one side and how it serves real people and ships cleanly to code on the other, became the turning point of my career.

So I learned the fundamentals of code, then moved fully into UI/UX. Since 2015 I've designed websites and mobile apps that serve real user needs and hand off cleanly to development — because I've stood on both sides of the screen.

Today I work across product design, design systems, and the messy middle where design meets engineering.
