Designer and engineer, one person.

I have spent close to two decades building things for the web — first as a designer, then as the engineer who ships what the design promised. Most of my work lives where the two overlap: interfaces that have to look right and hold up under real production load.

I work remotely from the Texas–Mexico border, in English and Spanish, and I take on everything from a single site to a long-term product engagement.
