Author's comment 作者コメント

A designer who ships the interface, not just the intention.

I'm Cole. I use whatever gets an idea across fastest, from a pen sketch to a design tool to a working prototype, and I pick up new tools quickly. Most projects here meant learning something new, from interactive maps to running Python in the browser, and shipping it anyway.

Being able to build what I design means I spot a platform's limits early and nothing gets lost in a handoff. I'd love to work as a UX strategist, and I'm happy to build it myself when a team needs that too. And yes, the manga layout is me: I like work with a personality.
