Open to design + build work

I design it, then I build it.

Decks, documents and web apps. Designed with taste, shipped in React and Next.js.

what’s up

I’m a frontend engineer who designs. I’ve shipped a SaaS platform used by Nestlé and Coca-Cola, built a design system from scratch, and art-directed decks and documents. I care about type, grids, and the small details everyone else skips. ✏️

designed, directed and built by me

Web

Three new web projects. I design and direct them, then build them in code.

how I work

Art directed by me, built with AI.

For decks and documents, I pick the reference, set the design system, write the brief and push every revision until it’s right. AI does the building. For web, I design it and write the code myself.

every project starts with a reference
