About me

I’m a full-stack design engineer. I take products from first sketch to shipped code. I design in Figma, build in React or Webflow, and use Claude Code to move faster without cutting corners. Brands like Minute Media, Alston & Bird and Lost Women of Science have trusted me with the whole path, so nothing gets lost between what’s designed and what goes live.The tools I use every day: Figma, Webflow, React, Claude Code and Airtable.

Claude in the loop

AI is part of how I work, not a gimmick. Claude Code drafts components, tests and CMS updates through direct connections to Figma and Webflow. I set the rules, review every change and make the design calls. You get senior judgment at a faster pace.

Art first

Before I wrote code, I was a painter. Years of studying color theory and composition shape every interface I build. I care about color and spacing as much as logic and performance.

Right tool, every time

I use Webflow when your marketing team needs to own and update the site. I use React and Next.js when the product needs logic, data and user accounts. I’ll tell you which one fits and why.

Built and shipped

Since January 2023, I've built 12+ Webflow websites for clients and personal projects, using the Relume Library and Finsweet's Client-first design system.
