About Me
I've always been a maker. I love pulling things apart and working out how they were put together. I'm the kind of person who spends hours with the inspect tool open, learning how things tick. My first taste of this was building MySpace profiles, tweaking HTML and CSS, discovering just how weird and wonderful I could make my pages. This curiosity evolved during my fine art degree into building digital worlds, making and breaking applications.
I became the person classmates would come to for building websites. I mastered all the site-building tools, starting with WordPress and moving onto Webflow and Framer to build without limitations. Through this, I discovered my true passion: building things people actually use. Taking time with those people, working out how to make each interaction better and better.
These days, I live in Figma, rapidly prototyping ideas and getting designs in front of users quickly. I work on intensely complex systems, challenging myself to make them as simple and intuitive as possible. Building them, testing them, refining them until they just work.
