How I work
I’m a designer and frontend developer with a strong affinity for semantic HTML, maintainable CSS and unobtrusive JavaScript. I care about accessibility and performance because I believe they are key to deliver the best possible experiences.
What I do
-
Prototyping
I create prototypes to test ideas and to verify user research. Although I really like working with pencil and paper, I believe prototypes are best validated where they are supposed to be used: in browsers.
-
Design
How I approach design for the web has changed over the years. Today I enjoy creating modular, component based design systems — often referred to as style guides.
-
Frontend development
I write semantic HTML, maintainable CSS and unobtrusive JavaScript to create experiences that look and function beautifully across all browsers and devices.
Things I care about
-
User centric design
I advocate a user centric design approach. That means every decision should be made with the end user in mind — ideally based on user research.
-
Accessibility
When building for the web, accessibility can often be overlooked. I strive for meaningful, structured content made available to the widest audience possible.
-
Performance
Building sites and interfaces that are fast require a lot of consideration. To me, performance isn’t just about load times, but is rather than how fast something is perceived.
