I went to art school in the 1990's, then, after becoming a dad in the 2010's, I went back to uni to study network engineering and ended up writing code; automating networks and then building backend systems. In recent years I've moved closer to the user, first building web UI's, and now building AI-native Design Systems. I live in rural North Wales with my wife, our kids, and our dogs and other animals. I read a lot and don't code on the weekends.
