Frontend engineer & UX
Marcus Reed
I design the screens, then I write the code for them, so nothing gets lost between the mock-up and the browser.
Most of my week is spent in two places: Figma, working out how a screen should behave, and the editor, making it behave that way on a phone, a wide monitor and a screen reader. I like small teams, short feedback loops and interfaces that load fast.
