About

It started with a news story about Hollywood actors being photoshopped to look better.

I was intrigued enough to go find Photoshop CS4. A cracked unlicensed copy, obviously.

I never really stopped.

We didn’t have internet at home, so I paid by the hour at an internet café to download fonts, brushes, and stock images, then went home and used them until I could afford to go back. Most of what I made was Counter-Strike forum signatures. A few of them were genuinely good.

These days I’m the only designer across two products, which means I own the whole thing: strategy, research, interface, and the design system underneath it. I like it that way.

I sit between design and engineering. I prototype in code, sweat pixel-level detail, and care more about whether something works in someone’s hands than how it looks in a presentation. Lately that’s meant taking a product from a one-line idea to a near-finished thing on my own.

Same obsession as the café days. Better tools.
