Get in Touch.

I take on select projects, consulting, and collaborations. If you're building something interesting, I'd like to hear about it.

An optical diagram of an aperture, stopped down. At left, a lens in section: seven parallel rays arrive, but the iris blades stop four of them dead at the diaphragm; the three falling inside the clear aperture pass through and converge on a single point at the focal plane. The admitted rays are labelled design quality, technical excellence, and thoughtful problem-solving; the blocked ones as outside the stop. Dimensions give the focal length f as 336 and the clear aperture D as 120, so N = f/D = 2.8; retracting the blades would open the lens to 240, or f/1.4. At right, the same diaphragm face-on: five blades on five pivots, their straight edges cutting a pentagonal opening of exactly the same area as a 120 circle, and so exactly the same f-number. The five blades carry the five kinds of work — product, design systems, editorial, accessibility, architecture — the five edges that together shape the opening. An f-stop scale below runs f/1.4 to f/22, marked at f/2.8.

What I'm looking for

I work best on projects where design quality, technical excellence, and thoughtful problem-solving are valued. I'm particularly interested in:

  • Product design and development for web platforms
  • Design systems and component architecture
  • Typography-forward editorial and publishing projects
  • Accessibility consulting and implementation
  • Full-stack architecture for modern web applications
