FEATURED PROJECTS

From design to working code

I solve real product problems, and build the systems and partnerships that get them shipped as designed

Mockups to code
Mockups to code
Design systems

A live React component library that design and engineering both build the admin platform with

Front endPilot-provenDev collaboration
Context
Admin portal designs were rebuilt by hand in code, so design specs and behaviour drifted
My focus
Piloted a code-ready workflow on one page, then built the library every feature starts from
Impact
50% less development time and 3.5× faster design reviews
  • A one-page pilot won engineering’s buy-in
  • 39 components and 15 code-ready prototypes
  • Two-way code reviews between design and engineering

Incoming call scheduler
Product design

Redesigned how admins route a business location’s calls, so setup is simpler and nothing fails silently

User researchLiveAdmin platform
Context
Repeated holiday setup, confusing options and silent errors made call routing easy to get wrong
My focus
Researched the pain points, redesigned the page, keeping existing schedules working
Impact
Live with admins; every legacy schedule migrated without issues
  • Location holidays shared across schedulers
  • Unassigned numbers fixed in two clicks
  • Away mode built into the portal

Team enablement

Gave every designer the production component library, so the team hands off code-ready designs

WorkshopAI-assistedCustomer-facing
Context
Large teams rebuilt designs by hand; library gaps surfaced in QA
My focus
Set the library up in Claude, proved it on one feature and trained the design team
Impact
Adopted team-wide, with handoff in one prompt
  • New fax: Figma to working prototype in six prompts
  • One prompt exports prototype, code, docs and icons
  • Library gaps flagged in design, not QA
