Design and engineering, taken equally seriously.
A designer's eye, a developer's pragmatism.
Introduction
I'm a UX Engineer, a hybrid of Product Designer and Software Developer (some companies call the role Design Engineer instead). In practice that means I can take a project from a rough idea through to shipped code, with no handoff in between. My most recent project was Tanda's design system, which shipped with 68 components and 97 docs pages. Alongside it I built a suite of custom AI tooling for the team: Claude Code skills, slash commands, and an in-house design preview tool that replaced our Magic Patterns subscription.
Projects
Selected work
A curated selection of projects that demonstrate my wide skillset.
Tanda Design System
A company-wide design system, built and documented from scratch — 68 components, each with its own documentation page, built on modern Rails: Turbo, Hotwire, and Stimulus.
HotHack
A hackathon for Brisbane's junior developers. I handled all branding collateral including the website, t-shirt design, and media wall.
Gemfind
A faithful modern rebuild of my uncle-in-law's 1997 gemstone-fossicking program — same data and idea, with modern cartography and honest attribution.
The Fridge
Running a household is a logistics problem. A framework-free PWA for shopping lists, tasks, and events — built for my own family.
Open source
Merged into tools I use
A few fixes I've shipped back to projects I build with.
