Marvin Messenzehl

I love working in the realm between design and code. Some things that make me excited are CSS, Interaction design, Javascript, and making interfaces feel fun and human.

Currently, I'm designing & building interfaces at DAYY.  Besides that, I'm teaching UX and UI design at Memorisely.
