I focus on clarity at the intersection of UX thinking and front-end craft—how things look and how they work. My process starts with user goals, then moves from structure to detail: information architecture, interaction decisions, usability checks, and visual refinement.
This site was built in collaboration with AI. I believe knowing how to work with AI tools is a genuine skill — and the design decisions here are mine.
