What I do

UX research

Interviews, usability tests, and A/B tests, to learn what to build and whether it worked.

End-to-end design

Flows, screens, and the details in between, built on the design system and carried through launch.

Push to code

I build in code with Claude Code, so what ships is what was designed.

Growth UX design

Homepage, sign-up, and checkout, measured against GMV, new users, and retention.
