Design engineer
I design the system, then I write the code it ships in.
I turn research and Figma designs into accessible, production-ready components. Design systems, design tokens, and CMS editor experience, with WCAG 2.2 AA built into every layer. At Montana State: 3 campuses, 800+ sites, 60,000 pages.

The fastest way to get to know someone is their taste in music. I started DJing because I like sharing it.
