Mike Rockétt

Hi, I’m Mike.

I love designing and building beautiful web-apps that solve problems and are a joy to use. My talents are best put to use in the fields of user interface and experience design and object-oriented data-driven development.

When it comes to tools of the trade, my daily drivers are Laravel and Vue for development, and I’m also spending some time learning Flutter+Dart. For illustrative and prototypal app design, I love Figma, but know my way around most Adobe products too. My favourite style frameworks are Tailwind and Bulma.

Check out my blog below, where I write about design, development, and a few other things that might pique my interest. Also, try out my open-source stuff.

I’m reachable over on Twitter if you’d like to chat.
