About Me

I'm a designer and developer who builds tools that make the web simpler. Creator of SantyCSS — a plain-English utility CSS framework with 8,500+ classes, used by developers worldwide.

I bridge the gap between design and code — from pixel-perfect Figma mockups to production-ready CSS. I enjoy building things that are both beautiful and fast.
