I'm driven by the limitless opportunities provided by the synergy between programming and design. Design has a great inherent power to influence, and I believe in using that power for good, to simplify user interaction and create a more vibrant, accessible world.

When I'm not on my computer, I like to watch the Cubs, play guitar, and study Japanese. At any given time, I'm usually drinking some kind of tea and ideally within petting distance of a cat. You can get in touch with me at ys.pessoa@gmail.com.
