Product Designer who builds.

15+ years • Design + build • AI-integrated MVPs

I design brands, build products, and ship working MVPs using AI-accelerated tools. 15+ years spanning multiple disciplines means I can take projects from concept to deployed solution.

I can execute end-to-end or collaborate closely with dev teams.

Now

What I do

AI-Powered Design & Product Development

Ship functional products with AI integration using Astro, React, Supabase, and Claude. Recent projects: EverPrompt (prompt management platform), WhatsApp Flow Builder (Figma plugin integration), and findmeacoffee.co.za (coffee directory with custom scraping).

AI Training & Consulting

Deliver AI implementation workshops focused on practical adoption, workflow automation, and responsible use of tools like Claude, Cursor, and other AI platforms.

End-to-End Product Design

Take products from research to launch, either building the MVP or collaborating closely with dev teams to shape and ship production-ready work.

Design & Web Development

Design brand identities, marketing materials, and responsive websites. Build and ship custom sites using AstroJS, Webflow, Framer, WordPress, and HTML/CSS/JavaScript.
