About Me

Chris Griffin

I started out building websites with a pirated version of Photoshop, writing mangled HTML & CSS in Notepad on my Windows 98 PC, and uploading my wonderful creations to GeoCities. When this website stuff turned into a paying job, the web standards movement was picking up steam, and I became fascinated with building websites using semantic HTML and CSS. Having operated as a product designer and front-end engineer for SaaS products for some time, I have found my niche in the design systems space.

As a self-learner and tech DIY-er, I have added to my arsenal of knowledge across several disciplines over the years, working with small to large startups. For a recent list of my experience, please check out my résumé.

Colophon

Designed in Figma and built with Next.js and React, largely with Claude Code. Netlify does the hosting. Overkill for a personal site? Almost certainly, but a personal site is the best place to experiment.
