I turn complex software into products people know how to use.

Your engineers already made it work. I design the interface, design system, and production front-end so customers and teams can use it without friction—with zero middlemen.

Let's talk about your project See real cases from the mess to clarity

Before: 6 tabs, 0 hierarchy Legacy UI

After: one clear decision flow 20 years shipping products

Selected work

Real systems shipped from chaos to clarity

Not pretty Dribbble shots—enterprise tax portals, community apps, and full production interfaces.

01 Enterprise SaaS · Design System · React

Corporate Tax Portal

3 independent repos, 1 design system

The problem: Tax analysts and managers worked across fragmented internal tools, dense compliance tables, and manual credential logins with no unified interface.
What I did: I designed the entire multi-role UX architecture (Manager, Analyst, and Browser Companion), built an accessible React + TypeScript Design System in Storybook, and standardized dark/light report templates.
Outcome: Consolidated F22/F29/F50 compliance workflows across three engineering repositories with immediate visual clarity and zero handoff ambiguity.

02 Mobile App · Admin Console · Community

Radio Barrio Centenario

designed + coded end to end

The problem: A neighborhood station run by volunteers needed 24/7 digital broadcasting that older listeners could operate in one tap—plus an admin console anyone could schedule without a technician.
What I did: I designed and built the Android app, real-time web player, mood-voting engine, and web Admin Console with automated scheduling and broadcast telemetry.
Outcome: Live 24/7 broadcast platform (v1.4.0) connecting neighbors with instant playback and zero-friction programming.

How we work together

You work directly with me—from first sketch to shipped code

no account-manager telephone

01

Diagnosis & Clear Scope

We review your live product or idea, spot the real bottlenecks, and lock a focused weekly roadmap with clear deliverables.

02

Architecture & Prototype

I map workflows, edge cases, and high-contrast interfaces in Figma so you can test the experience before anyone writes heavy code.

03

System & Production Code

I translate decisions into reusable tokens, React/TypeScript components, or clean static architecture that your devs can extend.

04

QA, Accessibility & Handoff

Real-device testing, AA contrast verification, performance tuning, and direct handoff with your engineering team.
