I design brands and build websites for communities and events, where every pixel either earns trust or erodes it.
I'm currently at Platform Engineering, where I design and build across brands like PlatformCon and House of Kube, from websites to on-the-ground experience design for our Live Days.
I also built Design Clanker, an open source tool that automates the parts of design work that shouldn't need a human every time.
On weekends I'm building FinalCopy, a calm writing app that quietly produces clean, semantic HTML.
I believe good design is mostly restraint, and that it should bring delight to whoever's experiencing it.

- Design infrastructure, or what's left when anyone can build anything. Anyone can build anything with agents. Taste is what's left. Notes on being a designer in the age of AI. 06/07/26
- I was up designing till 3am. So I built a robot to replace me. How one YAML file replaced a week of manual PDF assembly, and around 200 hours of design work across PlatformCon 2026. 04/07/26
