About
Designer and developer with 10 years of experience building high-performance websites, including 6 years at eBay as a UI/UX designer where I also built coded prototypes for the product design team. My workflow runs Figma to Webflow: I design in Figma and build everything out in Webflow from scratch, using Client-First conventions, scalable CMS structures, and clean component systems. I work with US-based clients across SaaS, health, and professional services. Available for full-time, part-time, or freelance remote roles.
