Origin Story

How I got here

I fell in love with the web at 16, building badly-designed tumlbr sites that I thought were the coolest things in existence. The design was terrible. The code was worse. But that feeling of making something look differently — of creating something from nothing — never left me.

I studied Computer Science, which gave me the vocabulary to understand why some interfaces feel effortless and others feel like a puzzle. Now, I use that knowledge every day to make sure the things I build feel like the former.

I've worked with startups, agencies, and independent clients across the Okanagan. What stays consistent is the care I bring to every pixel, every transition, every moment of interaction.

The Craft

What I actually do

My specialty is the space between design and engineering — the place where a Figma file becomes something real. I work best with teams that care about craft as much as I do, where "good enough" isn't.

I design in the browser as much as in Figma, because I believe the final medium should shape the creative decisions. A transition that looks perfect on a static mockup might feel wrong when you actually interact with it. I find out early.

What I Stand For

The things that matter

01
Intentionality
Every decision — every color, spacing, animation — should have a reason. I don't add because I can; I add because it helps.
02
Accessibility
Beautiful design that not everyone can use is incomplete design. Inclusion isn't a feature — it's the baseline.
03
Honesty
I'll tell you when something isn't working, even if you love it. My goal is your goal — to build something that actually succeeds.
04
Craft
The details are the design. The micro-interaction nobody notices consciously is the one that makes them feel something.
My Toolkit

The tools I trust

Tools are just tools — but the right ones make the thinking clearer.

Figma
React / Next.js
TypeScript
Tailwind CSS
Git / GitHub
Outside the Screen

A whole person

When I'm not building things, I'm usually found at the beach (or on a boat) with friends, or off somewhere with my dog.

I believe the best creative work comes from people who are curious about everything — not just their field. My interests keep my perspective wide.
