Me
I’m drawn to where design, technology, and interaction meet — where experiences that just feel right are formed.
I believe in simplicity, community, and building tools that serve people — not just profit. My work is grounded in curiosity, creativity, conviction and a desire to contribute to something greater than myself.

Manifesto
I believe in simplicity — clear, minimal, and intentional. Creativity is not a commodity to be optimized or measured. It thrives when we focus on what truly matters: quality, beauty, and the small, deliberate details. I reject the industrialized hustle culture, corporate greed, and the endless and relentless pursuit of profit over purpose. Productivity mustn't become the sole measure of value, for it is through relentless optimization that passion and purpose are strangled. Open-source, free and accessible tools are the foundation of a digital world where creativity prevails and collaboration flourishes. This is the future I believe in, and I will build it with every project, every line of code, and every design choice I make. No short-term financial gain shall ever take precedence over this.
Contact
I am on Twitter now, i promise i'll be active on there soon. In the meantime, feel free to check some of my code on GitHub.
I’m always open to collaboration, feedback, or just a good conversation about design, code, and the intersection between creativity and technology.
