About

I work in the space between design and code.

I'm Yahyo, a design engineer who spends most days moving between Figma and a terminal. I care less about which tool produced a decision and more about whether the result feels inevitable — like it couldn't have been any other way.

Before this I worked across small product teams, always ending up as the person translating between designers and engineers. Eventually I stopped translating and started doing both myself.

Outside of client work, I'm drawn to traditional Japanese craft and architecture — particularly the idea of ma (間), the meaningful pause between things. I try to bring that same restraint into interfaces: fewer elements, held longer.
