How I work with designers on client projects
If you're a brand or graphic designer who needs a reliable developer to build what you've designed, here is how I typically work.
You bring the design.
I handle the WordPress build in Breakdance: responsive, performant, and true to what you've created.
I don't redesign your work or suggest changes to the visual direction unless something creates a technical problem worth flagging.
Communication with your client goes through you unless we agree otherwise. How I show up reflects on you, and I treat that seriously.
What I need to get started: your design files, any brand assets, and a clear picture of what the site needs to do.
The earlier I'm brought in, the smoother the build goes, some decisions made in a design tool are harder to translate than others, and catching them early saves time on both sides.
If you have a client project coming up and want to talk through the scope, send me a message.

I was on a call with the owner of a major architecture firm in New York.
The founder spent the first 20 minutes talking about their philosophy and abstract concepts.
He was looking for a way to capture the soul of a space in their projects. They had a problem with the agencies they worked with. They'd spent large budgets only to receive logo proposals with stylized ancient temples, roofs, or building parts.
They hated this literal approach.
Architects and technical professionals often communicate conceptually. When this happens, it's better to bring the conversation back down to earth. So I shared my screen and showed him the identity I designed a few years ago for Emme.
Emme is an Italian 3D architectural rendering studio I created the visual identity for. I showed him the action built into the typography. The letters are made of pixels simulating a render's calculation process.
It's an approach that conveys deep abstraction without relying on trivial symbols.
The founder suddenly stopped and said: "You managed to show what they do in a single word."
That was exactly what they were looking for.
Seeing that logotype was enough for him to understand I could turn an abstract idea into specific typography. The company's action and soul made visually tangible.
Trust clicks the second a client realizes you can translate their philosophy into a visual system that works.
This looks clean and well thought out. How long did it take you to bring everything together?

FX products live and die by trust.
For Vortex FX, we designed a landing page hero concept built for clarity and conversion: clean structure, strong hierarchy, refined typography, and a focused 3D animation that adds premium depth without visual overload.
This is the kind of first screen that makes a platform feel reliable before the user reads the details.
This was created with a design subscription from FANCY — and yes, we’re currently open to new projects.
This is exceptionally done
