Phillip Lovelace

Hi, I'm Phillip.

I'm a Senior UX Developer with over two decades 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.
