UX by day. Travel + Twitch by night.

FireRaven, explained.

Mildly lost. Deeply unbothered. Always FireRaven.

Raven Chaos with a Compass

Welcome! This site is where I put the parts of my brain that don’t fit anywhere else. I work in UX/UI, Product Design, game design, so I notice things - broken flows, weird choices, tiny cracks in systems most people don't think about - and once I see them, I can't unsee them.

I travel with two dogs who think they're bigger than they are, but are also just as chaotic as they know they are. I stream when I feel like it, document the messes - mostly so I don't forget what happened (or how weird it got). I'm not a brand, or an influencer (I'm too old for that shit). You'll find no tiktoks here, just some random chaos, and mildly entertaining undercover humor. Definitely realistic, with just enough chaos to keep it interesting.

If I make you laugh, think, or yell at UI today, I did my job. If not, I would have posted it anyway.
