I've been making things for the web since I was a kid messing around in Dreamweaver. It was that feeling of taking an idea and making it real which never got old for me. I started my career in frontend engineering, spending years building other designers' work and learning how they thought by translating their specs into code.

But over time, I found myself more interested in the design problems than the engineering ones. Less "how do I build this," more "why should it work this way." I started reading about psychology and user behaviour, taking design courses at night, and working on side projects to practice. The more I learned, the more I wanted to keep going. Eventually I made the switch.

Now I work across both—design and code. Sometimes I'll run a full design process in Figma, other times I'll skip mockups and design straight in the browser. Depends on what the project needs.

Outside of work I like to read, spend time in nature, and cycle between creative hobbies including acting, singing, and writing. I'm a huge Liverpool FC fan and will often wake up at ungodly hours of the day to watch their games live.
