I was tired of bouncing between 5 different tools for UX research, so I built an entire Operating System for it. š ļø
As a designer/developer, my biggest bottleneck has always been context switching. I'd have user research in one doc, personas in another, Figma open, and an accessibility checklist floating somewhere in a browser tab.
To solve my own problem, I built Edward OS, an intelligent UX/UI design studio workspace.
What it does for my daily workflow:
Research to Journey Maps: Consolidates user research, automated persona creation, and journey mapping in one spot.
Built-in Audits: Handle design reviews and accessibility checks directly in the app.
Microcopy Support: A dedicated UX writing module so I don't lose tone consistency.
I originally built this strictly as a custom tool for my own product workflows, but I'm realizing other modern product teams might face the exact same friction.

š¬ To the Founders, Product Managers, and Builders here: If you were using an AI workspace like this to scale your design workflow, what is the one feature missing that would make this an instant daily driver for your team? Would love your brutal feedback on the architecture!

Not everything I build lives in Framer.
This one's a code project: I rebuilt Payy's React marketing site ā a stablecoin payments company ā from the front-end up. New typography system, a reusable motion foundation (scroll reveals, animated stats, page transitions), a handful of custom components, and a footer with proper parallax. All hand-written, no UI framework doing the heavy lifting.
I ran the whole build through Claude Code, which is where 15 years of front-end experience actually pays off ā I'm not prompting and hoping. I know what good motion feels like, how to keep things performant and accessible, and where the real work is. The AI moves fast; the engineering judgment is mine. I also work fluently with MCPs like the Figma MCP, so I can pull straight from design files into clean, accurate code.
If you've got a Figma design that needs to become a real, performant site ā in React, not just Framer ā that's squarely my lane. Happy to talk through what you're building.

Template #3 coming along nicely. Almost finished all pages design and animation prototypes.
For some reason I am still doing most of prototyping not directly in framer but directly in claude code

Maison de Pluie is a luxury umbrella brand concept designed in Figma and built in Wix Studio. Instead of a traditional e-commerce layout, I focused on creating a story-driven experience through editorial-inspired sections, thoughtful visual hierarchy, and subtle interactions that guide users naturally from discovering the brand to exploring its collections.
The goal was to make the experience feel as elegant and atmospheric as the product itselfāproving that even everyday essentials can be presented through storytelling, not just a product grid.
