I am a designer whose curiosity has led me to build.
Seven years designing for software, mostly at SaaS companies where I work across marketing and product. I care most about the part before the pixels: structure, systems, and the reasons behind each decision.
I live and breathe in design tools, but lately I've expanded into the codebase. Left, an iOS budgeting app, is the latest.
Email me or find me on X, here are some projects I've worked on.
LaunchNotes
During my time at LaunchNotes, I spearheaded marketing design and all the web initiatives. I worked closely with the COO, Head of Product Marketing, and Head of Product where I built out marketing pages, created marketing collateral, and explored feature development for the product.
The sidebar was the most argued-over part of the app, and it never got settled. Most items opened into a submenu, often just status filters like Draft and Archived, while Ideas sat inside Feedback and features like channels and page customization hid under Settings. I regrouped it by why you open the app: to check how things are going, to make something, or to set things up.
Smart drafts writes an announcement from what you give it, and the best input is the Jira work that actually shipped. In the original modal, Jira sat behind a generic Add context button, so it was easy to miss. I split the form into three steps: pick a template, add context, then write. Sources are named up front, Jira opens as its own view instead of a panel stacked under the form, and each step ends in one clear action.
Smart drafts demo: choose a template, add context, and draft an announcement. Activate the demo to use its controls. Tab moves through the controls and can leave the demo.

The product cards came out of a refresh of the marketing collateral. Release Notes, Roadmap, and Feedback each got their own glass shape and pixel pattern, so they read as one family but stay easy to tell apart in a deck or on a landing page. Voting is the Feedback board rebuilt in code. It works, so go ahead and vote.

Left
Left answers one question: how much can I spend today? Onboarding explains the idea in three screens, then you set up a monthly plan. Income comes in, fixed expenses and savings come off the top, and what's left becomes a daily number. $2,540 a month turns into $85 a day, which is much easier to keep in your head.
Logging a purchase has to be faster than not bothering. Tap plus, type the amount, pick a category, and you're done. Money you don't spend carries forward, so a quiet day makes tomorrow a little bigger, and the balance card shows exactly where today's number came from.
Nimo Homes
Nimo Homes builds tiny homes for people who want to own outright and live with less. I designed the brand mark and the marketing site. The logo's three house shapes push out from the centre and spin back in, and the homepage leads with the numbers that make the case: less water, no mortgage, a fraction of the cost.
Nobody buys a house from a web page, so the site's job is to start a conversation. The model cards let you compare homes at a glance, and the inquiry form asks only what the team needs for a first call, one step at a time.
