About
I'm looking for a senior+ / lead IC design role in a remote-first company. I'm open to just about any industry, but am especially keen to work on tools for climate tech or email marketing. In addition to moving pixels, I'm also interested in mentoring, helping create processes, and establishing a first-class remote culture.
Side Projects
A few simple, but solid patterns for responsive, accessible HTML email in (almost) every email client. Because between mobile, Gmail, and Outlook, HTML email is a three-headed dog from hell.
A fortnightly roundup of product, design, email, and climate news.
Speaking
Excelling as an email developer is more than just building a strong portfolio. In this AMA, we'll discuss strategies for selling yourself during career growth opportunities and achieving success through applying passion and collaboration.
Writing
