About: I'm a design engineer with over 15 years of experience taking products from 0 to 1. I work across the full stack, from design systems and frontend to backend and infrastructure. I've shipped products across AI, FinTech, media, insurance, and health. Most recently I led a product redesign across an AI suite at Miðeind. Before that I was Technical Design Lead at JPMorgan Chase, working on property management and cashflow analysis tools. I also designed and built the redesign for RÚV, Iceland's national broadcaster and the 6th most popular website in the country. I've built and sold my own products too: Baseline (https://baseline.is), a digital asset management tool, used to manage over 19,000 brand guides created, and Norde (https://norde.is), an icon manager. I love working on complex products with good teams. I pick up new tech easily and care about clear communication and doing things properly.

I can help you with:

  - Product Design: I help identify and solve the real problems your users face. Whether you're struggling with low engagement, confusing user flows, or a product that doesn't quite meet market needs, I dig deep into user pain points to design solutions that actually work.

I think layer is quite correct. Both Photoshop and sketch approach it the right way. Think of a sheet of paper as a layer. In Photoshop layers are sheets of paper that each matches the size of the document. On each paper you can draw whatever you want. They then lay on top of each other and the white parts are transparent.

In sketch, instead of sheets of paper that match the size of the document, you have a perfectly cutout shape for each stroke you draw. You can then move that cutout around within the document.

Both of those have the same principle except one is cutout one is not.

https://gilli.is — I publish an article like, once a year.

I've been using Tiptap for my little brand design app (https://baseline.is) and it's been awesome to work with. The guys over at Überdosis are constantly working on it making it even more powerful and you can easily bend it to your will, which is very necessary in my case since I'm using it as a part of a design tool.

I would definitely recommend it to pretty much anyone since you can adapt it to your needs.
