Design and implementation in one workflow
I work across the space between a product idea and a usable interface. That can mean structuring a website, creating a UI direction in Figma, implementing the frontend or taking responsibility for the complete path from an early concept to production. I care about clear hierarchy, responsive behavior and the small implementation details that shape how a product feels in use.
My main focus is frontend development and UI/UX design. I also take on web design, visual identity and graphics when they are necessary to make a digital product coherent rather than assembled from disconnected parts.
Technology stack
For frontend work I use React, TypeScript, JavaScript, Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, HTML and CSS. In the Laravel ecosystem I work with Laravel, Livewire and Blade. For interface and visual design I use Figma, Photoshop and Illustrator. The stack is a means to deliver an understandable, maintainable result that works well on real devices.
How I collaborate
I can join a team as a frontend developer with a strong design perspective, collaborate with a designer on implementation, or lead a smaller website from information architecture through launch. Before work starts, I prefer to define the audience, the important user actions, available content and technical constraints. This keeps decisions grounded in the actual product rather than in decoration.
