Building useful, usable, delightful products that respect privacy.

Work

Partner Success Engineer at the Endless OS Foundation. Previously, I co-founded elementary, Inc. and was the UX Architect at System76.

I strive to collaborate with open source projects as much as possible, and share what I work on under free and open licenses.

I give talks about UX and open source. I also sometimes appear on podcasts like Linux Unplugged to talk about my work.

I write things on the internet about UX, tech, and what I’m up to. I usually share these things on social media.

I take photos of my adventures (and my cat), mostly with my Pixel phone and Moment lenses.

I play games when I can find the time. Usually on PS5, but occasionally on Stadia, Switch, and—very rarely—Steam.
