nice to meet you 👋

My name is Simon.

I design digital products, systems, and experiences. I love to build scalable design systems, optimize broken design processes, and empower winning design teams.

I was born and raised in the Bay Area and have never left. In a previous life, I masqueraded as a professional poker player and semi-professional card magician. Sometimes I still do.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or just wanna hang out. I love meeting people who geek out on design! 🤓
