Ryne Estwing

Design Engineer

Hello, I’m Ryne (pronounced like the Rhine River) and I enjoy creating digital experiences. Over the past 15 years, I’ve always had a passion for beautiful design and creative engineering. Through my experience with both, I’ve learned that understanding new technologies and design systems and well-designed UX/UI components really interest me and the connection between design and engineering.

In my spare time, you can usually find me recording music, still trying to land a kickflip, hanging out with my wife, baby girl and Bash (our dog), or trying to create the perfect cocktail. I’m also currently working on a mobile app that uses Discogs API to create an approachable way to view vinyl collections with your friends.
