Digital products built to be used, not just admired
Available for work
Freelance full-stack developer and UI/UX designer. I research, design and ship websites and web apps that load fast and are easy to use.
What I can build for you
-
User Research
Understanding your audience before a single pixel is placed. Interviews, surveys and usability reviews that turn assumptions into evidence and evidence into products people actually want.
-
UI/UX Design
Flows, wireframes and clickable prototypes that show exactly how the product will work, before a line of code is written.
-
Web Development
Clean, performant builds with modern tooling — responsive layouts, accessible markup, and load times your visitors will feel. From landing pages to full storefronts and dashboards.
-
Prototyping & Testing
Quick high-fidelity prototypes tested with real users, so you learn what to change while it is still cheap.
