Accessibility has always been a topic that interested me. Writing standards-based HTML brings a baseline level of accessibility with it. But a lot of times the interfaces that we make are a bit more complex than what you can do with standard HTML. Consider this design for a search dropdown. As a UI designer with […]

Yesterday I bought Flexible typesetting by Tim Brown. This inspired me to do some experiments with variable fonts, which you can find here.

Some time ago I was looking for a developer for an application I was designing. The guys at Underlined decided to help me out with development, and so the Kana Master story began. This weekend the app got approved on the App Store (after 10 days… jeez… compare that to deploying a website update). You […]
I don’t know what’s happening lately, maybe it’s because I’m in Japan, or maybe because we finally reached a certain point in tech, but every 2 weeks there is some new announcement that makes me feel like I am living in the future. Just a few days ago I saw a video of 2 guys […]
