Hi, I’m Piper Haywood. I make things and help other folks make things—mostly websites, sometimes other bits and pieces.

I’m a design-adjacent software engineer and strategist with over a decade of experience working with organizations including the Eames Institute, Lars Müller Publishers, Alison Jacques gallery, the Asia Art Archive, Barozzi Veiga, the Architectural Association School of Architecture, and Penguin Random House. In my collaborations, I seek out teams that pursue design excellence without compromising accessibility or performance, make room for experimentation and learning, and take long-term maintainability and responsible internet stewardship seriously.

Currently, I’m taking on selected part-time freelance projects where the scope and pace are a good fit. If you’re interested in working or learning together, or if you’d like to see my portfolio, please get in touch.

This site is primarily a notebook. I write about my work, my day-to-day, where I was from, where I am now, my kids BB and AB, and many other topics. For the full firehose, see the feed or find out how to follow.

The site’s purpose is to learn in the open and to keep certain details from fading too quickly, an archive of references and memories. It’s something I find necessary and if others find it useful, all the better.

Thanks for coming, I’m glad you’re here. 💫
