Somewhere between design and engineering
On spending a career somewhere between design and engineering, building beyond the screen, and still figuring out what to call the work.
DESIGN ENGINEER · PRODUCT × FRONTEND × AI
I design and build software.
Design engineer with 20 years of visual and product design experience, now focused on shipping interfaces, systems, and product ideas in code. Currently building developer tools at the intersection of product design and frontend engineering.
