How I use these skills

Research: understand the problem.

I use stakeholder context, user research, workflow mapping, and analytics to define the problem and understand the technical constraints.

  • FigJam
  • GA4
  • Hotjar

Design: work through the details.

I work through flows and wireframes, then define reusable components, interaction states, responsive rules, and documentation.

  • Figma
  • Design systems
  • Accessibility

Build: carry the design into code.

I build and debug interfaces with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, WordPress/PHP, APIs, and Git. I check responsive behavior and accessibility. When engineering owns the build, I stay involved through review and release.

  • CSS
  • JavaScript
  • TypeScript
  • WordPress/PHP
  • REST/GraphQL
