About me

I’m a digital designer living and working remotely in San Marcos, Texas.

I’ve been in this field since 2009, focusing on cross-disciplinary design with a deep enthusiasm for design systems, open-source apps, and well-organized high-fidelity prototypes.

Tools

  • Design: Figma (components, auto layout, variables, systems)
  • Frontend: HTML, CSS (grid, container queries, custom properties), React, Git
  • Languages: TypeScript (Figma plugins), Swift (macOS utilities)
  • AI: ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, AI-assisted workflows
  • Research: UserTesting, Google Analytics, customer interviews
  • Learning: Nielsen Norman Group, Smashing Magazine, Frontend Focus
  • Editor: VS Code

Interests

  • Music: I try to listen to new music every day. My listening stats are on Last.fm.
  • Books: I read the occasional fiction classic, but otherwise I’m into non-fiction, particularly on the subjects of space science and U.S. history.
  • Podcasts: I usually listen to a couple podcasts a day. Lately I’m enjoying Dad Saves America and The Winston Marshall Show.
  • Film: Big fan of ’80s Hollywood, Christmas comedies, and over-the-top action flicks.
  • TV: My favorite shows include Slings & Arrows, Community, and The IT Crowd.
  • Real world: Bicycles, hiking, cooking, photography, minimalism, Texas barbecue, writing, telescopes, giant empty spaces, and road trips.
