Design Systems for Data Visualization
Seattle Design Systems · Seattle, WA
I speak and write about technology, community, and systems.
Over the last decade I've built developer tools, design systems, data visualization platforms, and other software that people rely on every day. Along the way I've led teams, mentored engineers, spoken at conferences, and learned that the hardest problems are rarely purely technical.
These days I'm increasingly interested in what happens after we build things: how technical systems shape institutions, how AI affects communities, and what makes people and organizations resilient when circumstances change.
Conference talks, podcast appearances, and technical writing on frontend engineering, data visualization, developer experience, and the craft of building software.

A collection of software projects, visualizations, illustrations, and other experiments. Some were built for work, some for fun, and some simply because I wanted to understand how something worked.
Building tools that help workers document workplace issues, understand their rights, and connect with advocates.
