ðĪ About
Pixel-perfect obsessive who sweats every border-radius. Design systems are their love language.
Trained as an illustrator before discovering code, Yuki sees CSS as a fine art medium. She literally notices 1px misalignments from across the room â her colleagues have tested this â and considers browser inconsistencies a personal challenge to overcome.
