OVERVIEW

Design decisions that already understand how they will be built — and development that protects the experience rather than diluting it.

Design decisions that already understand how they will be built — and development that protects the experience rather than diluting it.

Built around clear decisions, realistic delivery and measurable improvement — without separating user needs from technical and commercial constraints.

01

THE ADVANTAGE

Less translation, fewer compromises

Because I work across UX, interface design and front-end development, technical constraints are considered while the experience is still being shaped.

• More realistic design decisions

• Faster feasibility conversations

• Cleaner developer handoff

Problems are resolved before they become expensive design revisions or implementation compromises.

02

DESIGN THAT UNDERSTANDS BUILD

Systems, states and edge cases

I design beyond static screens, considering component behaviour, responsive rules, content variation and real implementation states.

• Reusable Figma systems

• Responsive behaviour

• Empty, loading, error and success states

The design is structured as a working product system rather than a collection of polished pictures.

03

DEVELOPMENT THAT PROTECTS UX

Build quality is part of the experience

When I move into code, accessibility, performance, hierarchy and interaction details remain part of the delivery standard.

• Shopify Liquid and theme development

• HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React

• WordPress and front-end integrations

The final experience stays closer to the decisions that made the design effective.

04

WORKING WITH TEAMS

A practical bridge between disciplines

I can speak with founders, designers, project managers and engineers without forcing one discipline to carry the whole conversation.

• Technical scoping

• Design reviews with engineers

• Delivery systems and documentation

This reduces ambiguity and helps teams make decisions with a shared understanding of the trade-offs.

Tom Willis

Founder, Chef at The Pantry & Kitchen

He understands the job requirements precisely. He was able to design exactly how i wanted. I just had to suggest him few examples. I was little hesitate in the beginning But when i started the work everything went smoothly. He is recommended.

I led the brand, digital, and marketing design for The Pantry Kitchen, creating a cohesive identity across its app, website, and physical marketing materials.

Qian Jiang

AI Designer for Copilot at Microsoft

Working with Qian since February 2023

Steve is a fantastic lead and designer. I admire his design skills since he can always create brilliant work and have a dedicate eye for details. Steve is also good at mentoring junior designers. I reported directly to Steve in the Design Yard, where he gave me insightful feedback and patiently showed me how to do better work all the time. I would love to have a chance to learn from and work with Steve in the future.

I mentored Qian in 2023 when she was developing her UI design expertise, and her progression since then has been remarkable. Qian is now a Lead Product Designer and AI Designer at Microsoft, contributing to the design of Copilot

I’ve mentored designers across UI, UX, and product disciplines — helping them strengthen their thinking, refine their craft, and progress into more strategic roles.
