Design Dev Writing Whatever

A web app is a conversation between people: users, designers, product managers, engineers. And like any conversation, it can go south in a hurry when they don't understand each other. As a UX Engineer, I help keep that conversation on track.

UX Engineers (also known as Design Technologists) are front-end developers who focus on fulfilling design intent. This means not just building things in a polished, performant way, but also ideating on designs and facilitating collaboration through tooling, process, and prototyping. We guide designers through the valley of the feasible toward the horizon of the possible.
