Should designers code? Maybe not, but I find my happiest moments when I'm doing both. I'm interested in bridging the gap between design and engineering, especially when it comes to composable design and systems. I love exploring how these can help scale design efficiently.

Over the past 12 years, I've had the privilege of designing software for a diverse range of clients, from innovative startups to government organisations. I spent 2023 with the folks at Inngest, where I defined their visual direction and developed the initial version of their local development environment and cloud service. Prior to that, I led the creation of the Royal Navy's first Design System, which has since seen widespread adoption across the UK Ministry of Defence.
