About

I live in Minneapolis, MN, with my spouse and two dogs. I am a print designer turned web designer & front-end engineer, who is passionate about accessibility and user experience.

I make websites performant, visually pleasing, accessible, and user-friendly.

I am a film nerd, music lover, occasional painter, enthusiast photographer, and world traveler. When it comes to food I am vegetable obsessed and prefer savory to sweet. Indian and Ethiopian foods are my absolute favorites.

Currently

Here are some things I'm currently using / watching / reading / listening to.

Tools & Gear

• Mac Mini M4
• MacBook Pro M4
• Warp terminal
• PHP Storm - for work

• DxO PhotoLab - for photo editing
• OM Systems OM-1

Books

• Marlow Murder Club Book #5: The Mysterious Affair of Judith Potts
  • Up until that last few pages of book #4, my spouse and I swore we wouldn't read book 5.
  • I don't have high hopes for this installment and should really stop reading the series. These are not written well, nor are they half as interesting as Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series, if we are really getting down to it. I don't like this series much, and think the TV adaptation is better, but here we are.
• The Inspector Maigret Series by Georges Simenon
  • Reading them in publication order, currently on book #67 Maigret Hesitates
• Absolution (Area X #4) by Jeff Vandermeer

Music

• I tend to create yearly playlists (2025, 2026, etc) and add new albums to it every Friday, as new albums are released, weekly (typically on Fridays).
• Lately, and on repeat, I've been listening to:
  • Neurosis' "An Undying Love For a Burning World"
  • Ahab's discography
  • Messa's discography
  • Elder's "Through Zero"

TV Shows

I track TV shows using trakt and Season Tracker

Latest

• Murdoch Mysteries
• The Other Bennet Sister
• The Four Seasons - Season 2
  • Until the last episode of season 1, my spouse and I really disliked the show. The last episode somewhat turned things around, enough for us to watch season two. It's not terrible, so far.

Ongoing

• The X-Files - Currently ~ 30 episodes away from the end. It's been my workout/elliptical show for over a year.
• The Outer Limits (1963)
• It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
• Spongebob Squarepants

Film

• My letterboxd account documents films I watch. My last 5-star was One Battle After Another.
