Samuel Kraft
Design Engineer at Raycast currently working on desktop app builder Glaze.
I've worked in design and engineering for 13 years with previous roles at music tech startup Tracklib and ecommerce platform Bitrefill.
Excited by delightful interfaces and building products that feel fast and human. I obsess over UI component api:s, design systems patterns, typography, and animations.
Based in Stockholm, Sweden. Before software I studied photography.
