Looks like my work got a double shoutout at Figma Config 2025!
In addition to the Evil Martians talk on programmable color, @elliotjaystocks.bsky.social featured Martian Grotesk, the typeface I designed, as a prime example of a font tailored for design systems.
Really appreciate it!

If you’re building a startup and believe design is key to your product’s success, let’s talk.
Over the past decade, I’ve helped launch a bunch of MVPs and level up several products—as a product owner, designer, and entrepreneur.
Now I’m on the lookout for my next gig.

I’ve announced my departure from Evil Martians. I can’t express how grateful I am for 11 incredible years ❤️ But I’m excited for the next adventure.
I’m open to roles in product ownership, design engineering, or design leadership.
Let’s chat if something comes to mind!

Let me give you a sneak peek at a tool I vibe-coded to simplify starting any new UI project—whether it’s a landing page or an app.
All it needs as input is a hue and the amount of color in gray shades, and it instantly generates basic color tokens for both light and dark themes.
