How I can help

Bring me the idea. I’ll help shape it, design it, and ship it.

01

Product Design

I shape SaaS products and websites through research, flows, clear systems, polished screens, and prototypes.

Research · Flows · Prototypes

02

Frontend Engineering

I turn those designs into production interfaces with React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS, without losing the details.

Motion & Interaction

I use GSAP for purposeful motion, micro-interactions, and transitions that make each experience easier to follow.

AI-Driven Product Thinking

I use AI to explore ideas, sharpen product thinking, and move from a promising direction to a clearer result.

A little about me

Design in one hand.
Code in the other.

For 5+ years, I’ve worked across product design and frontend engineering. I bring my Figma designs to life in Cursor using structured, AI-assisted workflows that keep the experience consistent from design to production.

Let’s work together

“I started in software engineering, found my way into product design, and kept both close. That mix helps me make ideas feel right and work well.”
