Ever wasted 20 minutes in a meeting just clarifying what ‘dashboard’ means?

No tools. No jargon. Just clarity.

We often leave IDs as plain, unremarkable text, assuming it needs no attention. But that neglect adds up: extra clicks, confusion, or errors in moments that matter.
What if we designed it more intent?

I wrote a piece about how music quietly shapes my design process—unlocking focus, flow, and breakthroughs no one else sees.
It’s about the connection between rhythm, emotion, and creative momentum.

interface design used to be cool and fun and everything didn't just look like a fucking roku btw

The UX Moments That Matter
I wrote a piece exploring those frustrating user experiences that don’t make it into case studies.
It’s a call to design with empathy and prepare for the unexpected.
