About me

Steve White - designer, engineer, collaborator.

I build digital products that feel intentional, resilient, and alive. My work spans product strategy, system design, and hands-on engineering with modern web stacks. I thrive when pairing with teams that want to experiment quickly without sacrificing polish.

How I work

Systems thinking

Every project starts with constraints, flows, and risk. I map them early so decisions stay reversible and intentional.

Care for craft

Accessibility, performance, and typography are not stretch goals; they are the baseline for trust on the web.

Partner-first

Clear communication, shared language, and honest delivery. I’d rather ship together than ship alone.

Timeline
Now

Independent builder

Prototyping edge-ready experiences, advising early teams, and writing about design systems with motion.

Previously

Product & engineering leadership

Led teams shipping content platforms, data-heavy dashboards, and tools for distributed collaboration.

Originally

Curious generalist

Started with HTML/CSS and tinkering with hardware. Stayed because the web keeps reinventing itself.

Currently open to
  • Collaborating with small teams on product direction and delivery.
  • Auditing design systems for accessibility and performance.
  • Shipping experimental interfaces that push motion and clarity.
