Over the last 4.5+ years, I’ve partnered with product teams to solve high-stakes challenges where clarity matters more than decoration. From defining the problem and shaping the strategy to shipping the solution, I make complicated work feel simple.
The short version
Anyone can make screens look good. What you're really buying is the judgment that happens before the mockups exist.
Working in Figma and Claude Code, I take design-system components from prompt to production in days and the fun part is my judgment stays in the loop.

“He doesn't just execute screens, but takes the effort to understand the problem deeply before jumping into solutions.”
SELECTED WORK, 4 CASES
Campaign Automator had 143 open issues and no designer. I wanted to rebuild the worst screen and got told no, so I worked through all 143 by hand instead. The screen with the most complaints turned out not to be the one losing us customers.
Invoicing was an 8-minute ritual of dread. We rebuilt it around how finance teams actually work. The system already knows the number, so an invoice became evidence you approve, not a document you rebuild.
I tokenized our foundations and taught Claude Code to build to them, then wrote the standard for how AI-built work gets reviewed across the org. Try the output yourself, one act down.
One project-shaped dashboard was serving five people whose work is shaped differently, so four of them finished the job in Excel. I built one widget library each view points at its own level, defined by the first question each person asks in the morning.
