Hi, I'm Alex
I'm a designer and developer based in Portland. I write about building digital products, design systems, and the tools that help us work better.
During the day I work on product design at a small startup. In the mornings I build side projects and write about what I learn.
This blog is my notebook — a place to think out loud about the craft of making things for the web.
What I write about
Design systems and component architecture. Developer tools and workflow optimization. The intersection of code and creativity. Lessons from shipping side projects alongside a full-time job.
