SHUT UP
& LOOK

Hi, I'm Tim. I'm an Australian developer, with a strong focus on design and interactivity. I'm currently living in New York and working as a product engineer at Tumblr.

In my spare time, I like to experiment with new web tech, and make fun little sites. You can check them out below!

You can also tweet with me on Twitter,
blog with me on Tumblr,
code with me on Github and CodePen,
connect with me on LinkedIn,
& chat with me via email.
