Tailwind CSS Experience
Rapid, consistent UI development with a real design system underneath.
Overview
How I've used Tailwind CSS
Tailwind is my default for any custom-coded frontend — React, Next.js, or hand-built HTML/CSS — because it keeps spacing, color, and typography consistent across a whole codebase without fighting separate stylesheet files.
This portfolio site runs entirely on a custom Tailwind config — every color (the ink/cream/lime palette), font, and spacing scale is defined as a design token once and reused across 40+ components, which is what keeps a site this visually dense from turning into inconsistent one-off CSS. The same approach carries into client React/Next.js projects: define the design system as Tailwind config first, then build components against it, instead of writing bespoke CSS per component and losing consistency as the project grows.

FAQ
Common questions about my Tailwind CSS work
Is this whole site built with Tailwind?+
Yes — every component uses a shared Tailwind config with custom design tokens (the ink/cream/lime color system), which is the fastest way to verify this skill: the consistency you see across pages is the config working as intended.
