I spend most of my time working on Gestalt, Pinterest's open source design system.
Before Pinterest, I had over a decade of experience working on behalf of creators and journalists. I'll work in news again some day. It's where my heart is. I've also worked with small startups, a not-so-small tech company, and an agency or two.
I'm skeptical of new technology. It's harder to do good than it is to do otherwise.
Work isn't my life. I ride a silly little folding bike. I love travel photography, shaking drinks, and tending to my balcony garden. Sometimes I stream old video games on Twitch. I will cry when the Minnesota Timberwolves win an NBA championship.
Good inspiration comes from experience. I stand often and spend time away from my desk. It helps.
You can make your website look like whatever you want. I pick nice, legible fonts at my day job. My website looks like an old computer because I grew up with old computers and they make me happy. Thanks to the Oldschool PC Font Resource.
There are still some kinks to work out, but I'm proud to have built it from scratch with Next.js. The pixelated images and videos are generated in real time using JavaScript and <canvas>, which was a lot of fun to figure out. I hope the chatbots don't make coding obsolete.
