01
Spec first
I write what the thing should do before I draw it. Agents build better from a spec than from a picture, and so do engineers.
Loose pieces. Scroll to put them together.
I design products,and the systems behind them,all the way to shipped.
Design that stops at handoff isn't finished.

01 About
I design products, build the design systems underneath them, and write the front-end code myself. Nine years across regulated fintech, logistics and agency work, and the work ends in a merged pull request.
- 9 years across regulated fintech, logistics and agency work
- 4 companies and one acquisition, from a 30-person startup to a 20-year-old broker
- Ships the code design work that ends in a merged pull request, not a handoff
02 Process
How I work
Three habits, in the order they happen.
02
System over screens
If it isn't in the system, it doesn't ship. That constraint is what lets a team move fast without drifting.
03
I ship it
I write the PR, run the checks, and merge. Design that stops at handoff isn't finished.
