flippin' pixels into creative UI since 2002...
Hi, I'm Phillip.
I'm a Senior UX Developer with over two decades of experience building design systems, engineering UX at scale, and developing accessible, intuitive interfaces with clean, semantic code. I live somewhere between design and code, turning ideas into accessible, token-driven component systems with clean, semantic markup.
My work spans CSS architecture, web components, design tokens, accessibility, SEO, performance optimization, and more recently, AI tooling and MCP development. I care about the whole picture: the design system that keeps teams aligned and the production code that ships to users.
I'm based in Southern California with my wife and two sons. When I'm not flippin' pixels, I'm probably on a sideline or in some bleachers yelling things that definitely aren't helping.
