I spend most of my week between research notes and interface files — a product designer who drifted into product management and never fully picked a side. Nine years of shipping taught me that the hardest part is rarely the pixels; it is agreeing on what the thing is supposed to do.

These days I write curriculum for Larkmoor, turning the messy craft of interface work into short, repeatable exercises people can finish on a lunch break. I care about clear naming, honest empty states, and giving juniors a path that does not depend on knowing the right person.
