Dale de Silva

Product Designer
and Developer
at the intersection of motion, art, and code.

I'm a rapid & hi-fidelity prototyper at design stage or in code.

I'm an experienced micro-interaction designer and browser-based artist/experimentor.

And I'm a champion of design systems, documentation, and strong processes.

I've been working in design and development for over 20 years with an intersection of skills that continually informs my product design and front-end development work.
