What I bring as a designer
UX research
I plan and run interviews, usability tests, and A/B tests, so the team knows what to build and whether it worked.
End-to-end design
I design the flows, the screens, and the visual details, build on the design system as I go, and stay with the work through launch.
Growth UX design
Homepage, sign-up, and checkout flows that I test against real numbers like GMV, new users, and retention.
Push to code
I build my designs in code with tools like Claude Code and push them to the repo, so what ships matches the design.
