About
My work sits at the intersection of design and engineering. I build tools for other builders — developer platforms, design systems and open source infrastructure — and care about craft, speed and the details that make software feel considered.
I started out in product design in Sydney, then went on to run a digital agency and lead product, design and engineering teams. I moved to the United States in 2022. Below is a fuller picture of my work, projects, education and the tools I use.

Earlier in my career, I held a handful of other roles you can read about on my LinkedIn. I also rebranded ESLint and redesigned the Node.js website.
