what i'm up to
updated may 2026inspired by derek sivers' /now page idea. a quick snapshot of what's actually filling my time, instead of a polished highlight reel.
building
- → vesper works — a small design + frontend studio i'm starting with a few people i trust. just getting it off the ground.
- → darwin — the first product we're shipping out of vesper. a focused marketplace site, currently in active build.
- → applykit — a tool to make job applications less painful. shipping iterations weekly.
- → this site, naturally. always tweaking.
learning
- → motion design and interaction polish — framer-motion deep dives, the small details that make a page feel alive.
- → typography systems — when restraint becomes a feature, not an absence.
- → designing for taste — picking apart sites i admire (like mubarak's) and figuring out *why* they work.
