Seeking the right fit
Work that actually matters
Real problems with real outcomes. Things you can point at and say “that made a difference.”
High-end craft, on purpose
Great taste, attention to detail, and a refusal to call good-enough done.
Fast-paced in a good way
Quick cycles, short feedback loops, constantly shipping. Momentum without the chaos.
Real collaboration (not handoffs)
Design, engineering and product building together — in the room where decisions happen.
Design with a seat at the table
A strategic voice, not just execution. Trusted to shape the problem, not just deliver the solution.
Space to keep growing
Room to keep experimenting — AI workflows, new patterns, new tools.
Working with AI
01 / 07
Claude Code, in parallel
I’ll have a few Claude Code agents running at once, each on a different part of the build. I steer and review; they do the legwork — a week of work in an afternoon.
Designing with Claude
Claude Design gets me to high-fidelity fast. I throw a few directions at it, see what holds up, and take the best one through to something real.
Design and code, in sync
I keep Figma and the codebase telling the same story — components and tokens in sync both ways. No drift, no redraw, no “final_v3”.
Wired through MCP
MCP connects the tools I live in — Figma, GitHub, design tokens — so context just flows. Less wiring things together, more time on the calls that matter.
