    Bio

    I’m a designer who codes, which basically means I’m a control freak who likes to get my hands messy and try new things. I like building and fixing things, and I believe that constructive criticism is vital to making the things you love better.

    My pursuits are often varied, but right now my particular focus is on leveraging technology to make the world a better place. (I’m a cautious optimist.)

    When I’m not busy building things, I like obsessing over typography, collecting impractical footwear, and exploring new places. I’m especially fascinated by the intersection between art and science, visualising abstract concepts, and plants that overgrow the built environment.
