Designing softwarefor builders

I'm a software designer who loves developer tools, design systems, and open source. When I'm not vibe coding I'm either exploring new places, trying new foods, or picking up new hobbies I probably don't need.

About me

I like making things and design is one of the ways I like expressing it. I enjoy ambiguous problems where the answer isn't obvious. I like trying new ideas, building prototypes, and obsessing over the details with people who care.

When I'm not working I'm usually scaring myself sh*tless watching a horror movie, making dinner take three times longer than it should, doing everything in an open-world game except the main story, or watching the Seahawks and Mariners (because apparently I enjoy suffering). Mostly, though, I just like being around the people I love.

My work tends to live somewhere between design and code, and so does my toolbox. These are the tools I'm spending the most time in lately.
