My Tech Stack
I build with intention. Framer for fast, interactive web design. Figma for clean interfaces. Notion and X for content. Each tool supports how I think, design.
Figma
My primary design tool - components, design systems, dev handoff via Figma Dev Mode.
Adobe Creative Suite
My trusted solution for managing payments and licensing digital products effortlessly.
WCAG / Axe DevTools
How I validate accessibility - contrast checks, screen reader testing, compliance audits.
Framer
How I bring my own portfolio and prototypes to life - fast, responsive, and code-free.
Miro
Where research and workshops come together - user flows, journey maps, retrospectives.
Jira & Confluence
How I work with engineering - tickets, documentation, sprint planning.
Design with Strategy and Creativity
My process blends strategy and creativity to address challenges, craft solutions, and deliver designs that effectively communicate your message.
