I’m a software engineer with a design background. In other words, I really enjoy the front of the frontend, digging into new technologies, and talking about accessibility, React component libraries, design systems, and inclusive documentation. I’m also a Color Module Specification Editor for the W3C Design Tokens Community Group.

Great products combine valuable features with strong branding to a target audience. Defining your brand’s North Star is the key to delivering the standards of that promise to your customers in a compelling — and memorable way.
