Tides
My work is guided by clarity, usefulness, respect for users, and the belief that the best work is shaped together.
In Practice
- Performance & accessibility — Work that holds up on weak connections, small screens, and assistive technology
- UI craft & care — Typography, spacing, “moods”, edge cases, and the small details that make products feel trustworthy
- Cross-disciplinary collaboration — Product managers, designers, journalists, editors, and engineers moving the same idea forward
- End-to-end delivery — Concept, prototype, architecture, CI/CD, launch, and iteration
- Maintainable systems — Clear documentation, sensible architecture, and long-term thinking
I’ve spent much of my career in journalism and mission-driven work. I care about building things that inform, support, and respect people rather than extracting from them.
I’m at my best in interdisciplinary teams where editorial, product, design, and engineering sharpen each other. I value curiosity, directness, and working with people who care about their craft and its impact.
