Nice to meet you, I’m Shane 👋

Design System strategist + practitioner based in the central Colorado Rockies.

I'm a pragmatic product designer and equally seasoned frontend engineer.

My skillset shines brightest when clarifying the grey area between Design + Eng and working with teams to find common ground on behalf of the Business and the Customer.

Crafting a design system for a multiplanetary future

Most companies try to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to visual design, but for Planetaria we needed to create a brand that would still inspire us 100 years from now when humanity has spread across our entire solar system.

Introducing Animaginary: High performance web animations

Rewriting the cosmOS kernel in Rust

When we released the first version of cosmOS last year, it was written in Go. Go is a wonderful programming language, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen an article on the front page of Hacker News about rewriting some important tool in Go and I see articles on there about rewriting things in Rust every single week.
