👋 Hi!

I’m Simon, a Creative Technologist and UI Developer with a decade of curiosity-driven work building tools & prototypes that blur the lines between design and engineering. Whether I’m crafting playful micro-animations for Hilton’s booking platform, prototyping voice interactions (like the patented system I helped create at Dell!), or experimenting with retail displays to solve real-world challenges, my focus is always on “How can we make this more intuitive & joyful?”

A few things I’m proud of:

  • Joined the 2024 Hilton Hackathon and built a collection of micro-animated UI components to enhance visual engagement across their booking platform.
  • Created designer-friendly tools to easily integrate dynamic content into ad campaigns, reducing production time by half.
  • Contributed to a patented system at Dell that re-imagined how users interact with voice commands in real-time applications.

🌱 I’m currently working on..
