I'm a designer who treats curiosity as a tool — collecting odd fonts, broken UIs, and late-night ideas.

For eight years I've shipped products that feel calm, fast, and unmistakably human.

Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.

— Steve Jobs, via my Senior Quote Collector duties
