Web design, development, and brand identity for established companies and enterprise teams. We design in Figma, build in Webflow or custom React/Next.js, and create the brand systems that make the sites work. Top 1% Expert-Vetted on Upwork since 2015. We specialize in: ► Website redesigns & rebuilds for established brands ► Brand identity systems (logos, guidelines, collateral) ► Custom web development in React / Next.js ► Landing pages, design systems, SaaS product UI ► WordPress (and other CMS) to Webflow migrations (or to Sanity/Payload) ► Ecommerce design and build (Webflow, Shopify, custom Medusajs) Most of our clients are established SMBs refreshing aging websites and outdated visual identities, plus enterprise teams that need a senior partner who can handle scope without the overhead of a traditional agency. We're selective - we take on work where we can genuinely move the needle on brand perception and conversion, not volume jobs. Every engagement runs through six stages: Discovery → Strategy → Design → Build → QA → Launch. You'll get weekly check-ins, Loom walkthroughs, and a clear scope before we start. Post-launch, most clients stay on monthly or yearly retainers for ongoing design, development, and SEO. As a creative director, I lead a 15-person studio: designers, developers, QA, and PM. You work with me directly; the team scales behind the scenes based on what your project needs. Primary tools & tech stack: Figma, Webflow, React/Next.js, Adobe Creative Suite, After Effects, and whatever else the project calls for (Lottie, Spline, Rive, Cinema4D). Got a project to discuss? Send an invite or message me - I respond within a few hours on weekdays. Happy to do a fit-check call before you commit.

I'm a front-end developer building premium web interfaces that look exactly like the design and feel fast on every device. My focus is pixel-perfect implementation, clean code, and the kind of attention to detail that makes a product feel intentional rather than assembled. I work with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, and GSAP for animations - but I'm equally comfortable with vanilla HTML/CSS/JS when a framework isn't the right tool. Whatever the stack, the priority is always the same: that premium feel where every spacing decision and interaction timing is intentional. I work efficiently with modern development tools, but every architecture decision, component structure, and design choice is planned by hand upfront. And the final steps - polish, spacing, animation timing, responsive edge cases, refactoring - are always hands-on. Tools speed up the middle, not the thinking or the finishing. What I do well: ❖ Figma to production-ready React/Next.js ❖ Marketing sites and SaaS interfaces ❖ Smooth animations and micro-interactions ❖ Performance optimization and Core Web Vitals ❖ Responsive, accessible, maintainable code Top Rated Plus | 15+ years | 12,000+ hours tracked Fluent English - both written and spoken. Clear communication throughout the project, no language barriers. If you have a design that needs to be built right, let's talk. — Skills: React, Next.js, Svelte, Astro, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, GSAP, Sanity, HTML, CSS, SCSS, JavaScript, Radix, Bootstrap, jQuery, Blade, Sanity, Wordpress, Jekyll, Figma to HTML, Figma to React, Figma to Next.js, responsive design, pixel-perfect, Core Web Vitals, Claude Code, BEM, SPA, SSR, SSG, SVG, Vercel, Vite, Git, Github
