Positions: Design engineer, UX engineer, designer who codes, front-end, UX designer, etc.
Hey there — I've spent my entire professional life somewhere between design and front-end. (Along with a bit of fullstack and systems work along the way.) In most previous positions, I've come in as a designer and picked up engineering work wherever possible: be it prototyping for other designers, pushing for fixes beyond my product area, or just writing nice frontend components and trying to keep the ecosystem healthy.
I'm now seeking something that's design-involved but engineering-focused from the start. Especially interested in design systems and UI platform work, but open to all opportunities.
Not interested in cryptocurrency, blockchain, or most AI-focused companies.
