Lately, I’ve been questioning one of the more beloved words in our industry: “craft.” It shows everywhere – in portfolios, product copy, and job listings. But is it helping us describe what we do? I think craft might be the wrong fit for modern design and development.
Hi, I'm Phillip.
Welcome to my corner of the web. I'm Phillip Lovelace, a Senior UX Developer with over 20 years of experience flippin' pixels into high-performance web interfaces. I specialize in UX development, creating accessible and intuitive user experiences through clean, semantic code. While my primary focus is on building scalable design systems, I also enjoy developing fully functional websites that meet both user and business needs.
With a strong foundation in UX design, web accessibility, and performance optimization, I work to ensure that every project is efficient, consistent, and user-friendly. My experience spans from crafting design systems that improve team collaboration to building websites that offer seamless, high-quality digital experiences.
I'm based in Southern California with my wife and two sons, and I work full-time as a Senior UX Developer, always seeking innovative ways to solve design and development challenges.
Thank you for visiting. If you'd like to connect, collaborate, or discuss how we can elevate your digital experiences, feel free to reach out. I'd love to hear from you!
