I'm a design engineer and deep generalist freelance, sitting at the intersection of front-end development and brand design. I don't just execute. I think through the architecture, design the experience, and build it myself, end to end.

Most of my work is premium showcase websites and product interfaces for studios, agencies, startups, and creative brands. The kind of projects where the bar is high and the details matter. I work on modern stacks (React, Next.js, Astro) with headless CMS setups (Sanity), and I bring the same level of care to a scroll animation as I do to a content structure or a color system.

What sets me apart is that I own the full chain. Strategy, UI design in Figma, front-end code, motion, deployment. No handoff gaps, no lost-in-translation moments between design and dev. When you work with me, one person holds the vision from concept to production.

I also design brand identities: logos, typography systems, color palettes, and brand guidelines that hold up across every touchpoint. For clients who need both a brand and a website, I'm the single partner who makes sure everything is coherent.

My approach is calm, structured, and senior. I manage complexity so you don't have to. I flag scope changes early, communicate clearly at every milestone, and deliver clean, maintainable work that your team can build on after I hand it off.

If you're a studio, agency, or founder looking for someone who can take a project from concept to a production-ready experience, without needing a team of five, let's talk.
