About me

I work across product design and frontend development. My work combines UX, UI, accessibility, design systems, and implementation, allowing me to take a solution from an early concept all the way to production.

For me, design and development aren't always separate phases of a project, as I am often the one implementing the design. The solution continues to evolve while I'm building, as implementation raises questions, reveals new possibilities and sometimes changes the solution. I naturally think in systems rather than individual features. While working, I strive to create reusable patterns, strengthen the design system, and make future work easier for the team.

I am curious by nature and like understanding how things work, why they're designed the way they are, and whether they could be improved. Outside work you'll usually find me running, gardening, or building something creative with my hands.
