I help founders, teams, and creators build better software, improve their AI development workflows, and turn rough ideas into polished digital products.
Iโm an AI-native creative engineer working with Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, and generative design tools. I use AI to accelerate the work, not to replace the judgment required for architecture, security, usability, maintainability, and launch readiness.
Before moving into software and creative engineering, I served in the U.S. Air Force as an intelligence analyst supporting national security missions. That experience shaped how I work today: verify assumptions, identify failure points, communicate clearly, and never confuse something that looks finished with something that is actually ready.
I can help with:
- Claude Code coaching and workflow improvement
- Debugging and improving AI-assisted codebases
- React, Next.js, Astro, and TypeScript development
- Website and application launch reviews
- API integrations and automation
- Performance, security, and reliability improvements
- Architecture cleanup and technical debt
- Polished AI-assisted visual assets
Iโm comfortable stepping into unfinished or difficult projects, figuring out what is actually going wrong, and explaining the solution without making the process more complicated than it needs to be.
I also help clients get better results from AI development tools. Often, the model is not the real problem. The issue is the project structure, context, instructions, or workflow surrounding it. I can identify those weak points and help establish a more reliable way of working.
Whether you need hands-on development, coaching, a technical second opinion, or help getting a project across the finish line, I bring technical judgment, disciplined analysis, and a strong creative eye to the work.

โ 250+ projects delivered across fintech, SaaS, e-commerce, and enterprise products.
20 years of UX/UI design experience, including a decade as creative director at global agencies like Iris Worldwide London, HAVAS Paris, and Young and Rubicam New York. I design products that are not just visually sharp but strategically built to convert, retain, and scale.
Ready to discuss your project? ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ or schedule a quick call directly from my profile. I respond immediately.
Below are my services:
โ ๐ช๐๐๐ง ๐ ๐๐ข
I cover the full UX/UI design lifecycle, from initial research and wireframing through to high-fidelity Figma prototypes and production-ready design systems.
My web design work spans SaaS platforms, fintech dashboards, e-commerce, and mobile applications. Whether a client needs a complete product design overhaul or a focused UX audit, I bring the same structured, research-backed approach every time.
Core UX/UI design services: product design strategy and UX architecture, complex wireframing and information hierarchy, rapid prototyping and interactive Figma components, design systems and UI libraries, user research and usability testing, heuristic analysis and CRO-focused UX audits, and creative direction including brand identity and visual language.
Tools: Figma, Webflow, Sketch, Adobe XD, Illustrator, Photoshop, InVision, Axure, Hotjar, Mixpanel, Fullstory, Google Analytics, and UserTesting, Generative AI, Chat GPT, Nano banana, Claude, Gemini.
โ ๐๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ง๐ฆ
- 250+ UX/UI design projects completed with a consistent 5-star track record across the US, Europe, and Asia.
- Recent highlights: a fintech core banking platform for Omniwire, simplifying complex issuer workflows into an intuitive product design across multiple markets.
- A personal finance web application for MoolaX where the UX design reduced onboarding drop-off by restructuring information hierarchy and simplifying the dashboard UI.
- A full product design and web design build for Austrian Audio, turning a high-end audio brand into a conversion-optimized e-commerce experience across desktop and mobile.
โ ๐ช๐๐๐ง ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ฆ ๐ ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ซ/๐จ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐ง
Most UX/UI designers are strong on research or strong on visuals. After 20 years across product design and creative direction, I bring both. Agency work trained me to design for persuasion and brand impact. Product design across 250+ projects taught me to design for clarity, retention, and real user behavior. The result is UX/UI work that looks considered, converts visitors, and gets built the way it was designed.
โ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ข๐๐จ๐ฆ
The clients I work best with are product teams and founders who need a UX/UI designer operating at both strategic and execution levels. I am equally comfortable running a UX audit, building a design system from scratch in Figma, or owning the full web design process from brief to handoff. My creative direction background means I think about brand, narrative, and conversion alongside usability.
Industries: fintech and banking, SaaS and B2B platforms, e-commerce, healthcare, media, and enterprise software.
โ ๐ ๐ฌ ๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐๐
Every UX/UI design engagement starts with understanding the problem before opening Figma. I run a discovery phase covering user goals, business constraints, existing UX patterns, and competitive positioning. Wireframing and UX architecture come before any visual UI design decisions. This prevents the most expensive mistake in web design: building beautiful interfaces on top of broken user flows.
I work in tight feedback cycles and deliver annotated Figma files with developer handoff specs, component documentation, and interaction notes so nothing gets lost between design and engineering.
โ ๐๐ซ๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ฅ๐๐
SaaS and Fintech Product Design: Core product experiences for fintech platforms, banking dashboards, and data-heavy SaaS products where UX/UI design must make complex information readable and actionable. Every engagement starts with UX research and flow mapping in Figma before UI design begins.
Web Design and E-commerce: Brand-led marketing sites, conversion-optimized landing pages, and full e-commerce UI including product pages, checkout flows, and mobile web. CRO principles and A/B testing applied wherever performance data is available.
Mobile App and Responsive UX/UI: Mobile-first UX/UI for iOS and Android with gesture-based interaction design, scalable component systems, and design consistency from mobile to desktop.
Creative Direction and Brand: Brand identity, visual language, logo design, and strategic positioning work that connects product design to business narrative.

Stop losing customers to slow load times and blurry logos. I craft high-performance websites and razor-sharp brand identities that turn visitors into loyal clients across WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Squarespace and beyond.
What I Do:
I help businesses shape their identity and bring it to life online whether thatโs a brand refresh, a new website, or just tightening up an existing digital presence.
I usually jump between branding, UI/UX, and development to make sure everything stays consistent from first impression to final click.
Tools I Use
โข CMS (WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Framer & Webflow): Custom websites built to fit real business needs
โข Figma: UI/UX design that focuses on clarity and flow
โข Adobe Suite: branding, visuals, and polished design work
How I Work?
Branding: I build visual identities that feel aligned, not forced. Something that actually fits the personality of the business.
UI/UX Design: I focus on structure and flow so users donโt have to think twice while navigating.
Development: I build in WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix & Webflow depending on what makes the most sense for the project.
Responsive Builds: Everything is designed to work smoothly across all devices, not just desktop.
Support After Launch: I donโt just โhandoff and disappear.โ I stick around for updates, fixes, and improvements when needed.
Letโs Build Something Good
If youโre looking to upgrade your brand or website, Iโm down to help you figure it out and build something solid, clean, functional, and actually reflective of your business.

If your Wix website looks outdated, feels like a template, or isn't converting โ that's my specialty.
โญ 5-Star Rated Wix Studio Expert Designer & SEO Strategist with 16+ years of experience helping businesses refresh, redesign, and grow their online presence. I don't just make sites look better โ I restructure the user experience and optimize for search so your site drives real results: more demo requests, more leads, and more trust from the moment someone lands on your page. I also provide instructions on how to maintain the site, like media, text, and other things that you might need to maintain the website afterwards, upon request.
Every review I've earned on Upwork reflects one thing: clients who came with a problem and left with a site they're proud to share.
๐จ Design & Development:
โ Visual redesigns and layout improvements in Wix & Wix Studio
โ UX cleanup: spacing, typography, visual hierarchy, mobile responsiveness
โ SaaS, service, health coaching, and e-commerce brand websites
โ Conversion-focused design (CTAs, flow, messaging clarity)
โ Figma-to-Wix transfers with pixel-level accuracy
โ Email capture, landing pages, and coming-soon builds
โ Ongoing site maintenance, blog publishing, and content updates
๐ SEO Services:
โ Organic Content Performance Analysis โ keyword rankings, top 10 keywords, content strengths & gaps, target audience alignment
โ LLM SEO Phrases used as strategic blog categories
โ Technical SEO Audit โ page structure, meta setup, URL slugs, focus keywords, speed optimization
โ On-page optimization & ADA accessibility compliance
โ Cookie banner setup & each-page SEO compliance templates
โ Competitor Analysis โ including CPC and ad spend insights
โ Google & paid ad strategy โ 3 targeted ad concepts per campaign (short headline, long headline, description)
โ Blog strategy โ topic ideas, FAQ development (General, Pricing, Technical/Trust), and full blog post writing per category
โ Content optimization aligned with how AI search engines (LLMs) surface results
๐๏ธ Who I work best with:
You already have a site live โ but it doesn't reflect the quality of your business. Maybe it looks like everyone else's template. Maybe your bounce rate is high. Maybe you're invisible on Google. That's exactly where I come in.
I also work with clients building from scratch who need a clean, modern, search-optimized Wix site โ without the back-and-forth.
Industries I've worked in:
Healthcare & SaaS โข Design-Build & Construction โข Health & Wellness Coaching โข E-Commerce โข AI & Tech Enablement โข All around the world ๐
๐ง My process is simple:
I review your current site or brief, identify what's holding it back visually and in search, then deliver a refreshed design and SEO strategy that feels intentional โ not templated. I communicate clearly, hit deadlines, and don't disappear mid-project.
โ What you can expect:
โ Clean, modern design that matches your brand
โ Mobile-first, fast-loading pages
โ Clear CTAs that guide visitors toward action
โ A full SEO foundation โ technical, on-page, and content
โ A designer and strategist who asks the right questions upfront
My clients leave happy. The reviews speak for themselves.
