For eleven years I’ve helped product teams find the one sentence their product should say — then removed everything that contradicts it. I work across research, interface design, design systems and the occasional line of front-end code.
( 02 ) — Credential
Pick me up.
Throw it.
A 3D credential on a lanyard. Grab it, throw it, watch it settle. It’s also a business card that refuses to be boring.

Stillness
Motion off holds the rest pose. Canvas and reduced-motion stay still.
( 03 ) — Selected work
Work, mostly quiet.
( 04 ) — Toolkit
What I bring to the table.
Drag the wheel, or just scroll — it listens to both. Every discipline I practise, in roughly the order clients ask for them.

Process
Designing for the second visit
First impressions are overrated. The real test of an interface is whether it gets out of the way the second time.
Motion
Motion is a sentence, not a garnish
Every animation makes a claim about cause and effect. Here is how I decide which ones are true.
Career
A résumé is a product, too
Treat your CV like a landing page and you will write a worse one. Treat it like a tool and someone will use it.
