at the end of 2023, my company underwent significant layoffs, letting go of nearly 50% of its team—including me. since then, i’ve dedicated my time to building open-source projects with @once-ui-systems, focusing on design systems, portfolio templates, and starter kits. i’m also deeply engaged in my creative projects, which you can explore on my personal site.

one of my proudest achievements is launching the Design Engineers Club, a warm, inclusive community that nurtures creativity and connection.

building free, open-source projects has been incredibly rewarding. the support and gratitude i’ve received over the past year confirm that this mission is meaningful, and i’m committed to staying on this path. but, like any journey, it has its challenges—like the practical need to cover expenses.

so, if my work resonates with you, i’d be incredibly grateful for your support. it not only helps me continue my projects but fuels my inspiration. you can sponsor me through my GitHub profile or explore Journal of the Universe and Design Engineers Club merchandise at my store. thank you!
