UI/UX Design

How I design digital products: understand the people using them, map the flows, design and prototype in Figma, test, then build the interface myself. Every case below is real, shipped work.

UI/UX Designer4 case studies

HOW I WORK

  1. 01ResearchUser research, personas, competitive analysis and a heuristic evaluation of what exists today.
  2. 02DefineUser flows, journey maps and information architecture, so every screen has one clear job.
  3. 03DesignWireframes to high fidelity in Figma with Auto Layout, components and variants, grown into a design system.
  4. 04Prototype & testInteractive prototypes, usability testing and accessibility checks (WCAG), then iterate.
  5. 05BuildI code the final UI myself: React, Next.js, Astro and Tailwind, with Framer Motion for interaction.
DESIGN ⇄ CODE

Seen some of these in the Tech World? It's the same work, seen from the other side. I designed these products in Figma first and then built them in code, on my own or with my team, so both UI/UX design and development went into each one. This issue tells the design story; the Tech World tells the engineering one.
