What I’m learning, written down.

Articles on design, front-end and accessibility drawn from real projects, plus the experiments I build to test ideas.

  1. Web accessibility, properly: a practical guide for designers, developers and the people who pay them What WCAG 2.2 AA asks for, what the law says in Brazil, the EU and Ireland, what to test and how, what not to build — and how to defend the work to a client.
  2. Fetch: a 404 page worth getting lost on How I turned a dead end into a small game with my dogs and my old cat — and what it taught me about gamification, fairness and UX.
  3. Sculptures: 3D icons from flat SVG The objects behind this site’s services, stacked in CSS 3D from flat SVG — with a playground for every prop.
  4. Vibe coding, with and without knowing what you’re doing AI writes code fast for everyone. What changes is whether anyone can tell good output from bad — and that still takes someone who knows the craft.
  5. Not an overlay: building an honest accessibility panel Why one-line accessibility widgets fail, and what a preferences panel should do instead — built by a colour-blind designer who codes.
  6. Design tokens that survive the handoff Naming, scaling and shipping tokens so Figma and code never drift apart, even two years in.
  7. BEM and SMACSS in 2026: still worth it? Why an old naming convention keeps large, framework-free front ends calm, readable and easy to hand over.
