No handoffs
Design and engineering live in the same mind. There is no translation layer, no lost intent, no 'the designer didn't think about that' moments.
My Process
[ 01 ][ UNDERSTAND ]
Understand
“No briefs to fill out. I do the thinking first.”
We start with a focused 30-minute call — no decks, no forms. I ask the right questions, listen carefully, and take notes. Then I research your product, competitors, and users on my own before we align on direction.

[ 02 ][ DEFINE & DESIGN ]
Define & Design
“Design decisions explained, not just presented.”
I work in Figma from structure to polish — architecture, flows, interactions. Engineering constraints are considered from day one, so nothing I design is impossible to build. I share progress async so you're never waiting on a meeting to see momentum.

[ 03 ][ REFINE ]
Refine
“We iterate until it feels right — not until the contract expires.”
Review happens on live prototypes, not static PDFs. I walk you through decisions and the reasoning behind them. Two rounds of revisions are included, with honest conversation about what's working and what isn't.

[ 04 ][ SHIP ]

“Most designers stop at files. I can go all the way to the browser.”
Figma files are production-ready — auto-layout, token-based, annotated for engineers. If you need it, I implement directly in React and Next.js. Your team walks away with something that works, not just something that looks good in a presentation.

What makes this different
Engineering-aware from day one
I know what's expensive to build and what isn't. Design decisions are grounded in technical reality — which means fewer surprises when development starts.
Async-first, high-signal
You don't need to attend meetings to stay informed. I communicate in short, clear updates so you can review on your schedule and make decisions faster.
