About

I started my career as a landscape architect, moved into UI/UX design, then product management — and now I build the tools I wished I had along the way. Every role taught me something: architecture gave me an eye for space and proportion, design taught me to obsess over details, and product management showed me what people actually need vs. what looks good in a pitch deck. Now I'm focused on building independent products for designers and creators — tools that are fast, free, and just work. No bloat, no account walls. Currently shipping Color Taste and more to come.

What's your biggest pain point with color tools?

I built Color Taste because I was frustrated with switching between 5 tabs just to make one color decision palette generator, contrast checker, Pantone lookup, image extractor, color converter.

Before building this, I want to ask: what's the one thing about existing color tools (Coolors, Adobe Color, etc.) that annoys you the most?

Some things I've heard from other designers:

- "I can never find a palette that matches the mood I'm going for"
