I build interfaces that stay calm under pressure — design systems, motion, and the unglamorous performance work that makes both hold up on a mid-range phone.

Currently

Building design systems and motion work for product teams. Previously shipped reconciliation tooling used by finance teams across three markets.

How I work

Motion should explain, not perform

A transition earns its place when it tells you where you came from. Everything else is latency with a bow on it.

Design for the worst device in the room

If it holds up on a three-year-old Android on patchy 4G, it will feel instant everywhere else.

Fewer decisions, held firmly

One typeface pairing, one accent, one grid. Constraints are what make a small site feel considered.
