I'm an interface engineer at heart, somewhere between a design file and a terminal most of the week. I post the messy middle on Field Notes, which is where almost everything ends up first.
When I'm not building, I talk about design engineering, tooling and front-end taste on Groundwork, a short video series I record between projects.
I've been building my own component library, Fernpost UI, for the past four years. It sees roughly 3M page views and 200k unique visitors a month, and my favourite part of any week is pushing something new into it.
