'm a design engineer with 20 years of experience building websites and MVPs for small businesses and startups. I started my journey in the early 2000s while growing up in poverty, teaching myself design and code on a dial-up connection. I took on freelance work early to survive, which forced me to learn fast and deliver results without resources or support. That background shaped how I work today: lean, efficient, and focused on systems that scale. Over the years, I've worked across industries like eCommerce, SaaS, and media, usually as a solo operator or fractional team member. My strength is taking rough ideas and turning them into functional products that actually ship.

Projects

Freshly Commerce Template Design and Development

Build this as a starter website template for startups and Freshly Commerce, a Shopify Plugin startup, was my first customers to purchase the template. This was originally my portfolio site, designed in Figma & built with Gatsby. The results were in. After this design was used, they've gain new customers such as Glossier, Papatui, GothRider, JOMO Studio, and more.See More
