UI/UX Design Collaboration

What I Do
I operate at the intersection of design and development — transforming visual ideas into functional, interactive, and enduring user experiences. My job is to ensure that what’s created in Figma is faithfully and thoughtfully brought to life in code, with every pixel, motion, and interaction feeling intentional and intuitive.
I help teams close the gap between design intent and technical execution — delivering interfaces that not only look great but also perform well, scale cleanly, and respect accessibility best practices.
How I Work
Early Collaboration with Designers I engage with design teams from day one — reviewing wireframes, prototypes, and interaction models to provide feedback on feasibility, performance, and technical implications before anything gets handed off.
Precision Implementation I treat implementation as a craft — ensuring pixel-perfect alignment with design specs, honoring spacing, typography, animations, and responsiveness across breakpoints and devices.
Design System Integration I contribute to the evolution of shared design systems by creating robust, reusable components and documenting them via tools like Storybook. I help scale these systems so they can serve multiple teams and products without losing cohesion.
Accessibility & Responsive Design I build with inclusion in mind from the start — following WCAG guidelines, ensuring semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, and screen reader compatibility. Every interface adapts seamlessly across screen sizes and interaction modes.
Feedback Loop Culture I believe in short, collaborative cycles — walking through UIs with designers, sharing deployed previews, and iterating quickly on details like animations, empty states, and edge cases.
Technologies
Design Integration: Figma (inspect mode, variables, tokens), Zeplin, Lottie, Tokens Studio
UI Implementation: Pixel-perfect HTML/CSS, responsive layouts (Flexbox, CSS Grid, mobile-first), modern JS frameworks (React, Next.js)
Design Systems: Atomic Design principles, Design Tokens, component libraries, theming strategies, Storybook for component documentation and visual regression testing
Accessibility: WCAG compliance, semantic markup, keyboard navigation, ARIA roles, contrast testing
Collaboration & Handoff: Slack, async feedback, annotated prototypes, shared Notion docs, live preview environments (Vercel)
