About Me

Marcus Thomas

I'm a UX designer and front-end developer who creates intuitive, research-driven digital experiences grounded in strong technical execution.

I specialize in bridging user-centered design with front-end development, combining deep UX research with implementation in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React. My work spans enterprise platforms, GIS tools, e-commerce experiences, and mobile apps—where I've led everything from user interviews and usability testing to high-fidelity prototypes and front-end builds.

Outside of work, I'm usually diving into sci-fi worldbuilding, working on woodworking projects, or exploring new design systems and coding techniques. I'm always pushing to learn, iterate, and build digital products that make everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable.
