About
I care about the part between “it works” and “it feels finished.”
I'm Makai, a designer and developer who likes turning ideas into products that feel considered all the way down to the details.
I build native Apple apps, websites, and small tools, both independently and through CodeArc.studio. I like clear interfaces, useful motion, accessible defaults, and shipping things people can actually use.
