Design engineer · Founder of Signal Studio

I design the surface and build the system underneath it.

I build Signal Studio — a project workspace for small teams — and I own both ends of it: the interface people meet and the system underneath that has to hold when things go wrong.

The approach

Better tools for the
work that matters.

I care about clear interfaces, well-structured systems, and the details that make both feel effortless. This site is a collection of things I have designed, built and learned along the way — including the parts that are still unfinished, which are labelled as such.

About me
