Services

What I do

  • 01

    User Experience Design

    Good UX shows up as simpler workflows, fewer support calls, and customers who come back. I design both for what the business needs and what the user needs, and I never sacrifice on quality.

  • 02

    Service Design

    Service design is the work behind the screen: mapping the full journey across people, systems, and touchpoints, then redesigning the process where it breaks.

  • 03

    Web Development

    I build websites and applications end to end: strategy, design, development, and the integrations behind them. Storefronts, lead generation, internal tools.

  • 04

    UI Design

    Heuristics, consistency, and information architecture. I build and maintain composeable component libraries and design systems that can handle any scale.

  • 05

    Shopify Partner

    Partner since 2020, with 20+ storefronts shipped. Plus builds, migrations, and a six-brand consolidation onto one platform.

  • 06

    Klaviyo Partner

    Dozens of automation flows built and managed, including a cart-recovery flow that brought back roughly $40k in its first week.
