About
Howdy 🤠, I’m a former creative director, designer, and illustrator turned independent developer. You’ll probably know me as the guy that made the Octocat famous, but I’ll be honest — it’s not my best work. I prefer to be known for making “please, no” the default button on a cookie banner before GDPR, giving a dumpster fire Lego kit as a corporate gift, creating a url parallaxer, and painstakingly crafting a spectrum of every hex color that includes the word “beef”. I call it shenanigan driven development. I became a full time independent developer in 2022 and have no regrets. I’ve got new projects and old projects on the horizon and I hope you find at least one of them you like.
