Most of my job titles have included the word “designer”, but code is my medium and the browser is my favorite design tool. I believe that designing for the web means working in the medium of the web—namely, HTML and CSS. Interactive media deserves interactive iteration.
I love working digitally, but when I need to think about gnarly problems, I take my sketchbook and my pen, I find a quiet place to sit, and I write.
In my free time, I play piano and listen to city pop and noodle with synths and take photos and bike around Brooklyn. I like reading about urbanism, transit, and queer history, and I tend to a small (but growing) apartment balcony garden.
I’m always open to chats and coffee. Say hello!
