What happens in a free sparring session?
In one hour, I go through one flow, screen or workflow question from your product. I give concrete UX and workflow advice, and you get three written takeaways afterwards. You also get an honest view of whether I'm the right fit. If I'm not, I'll tell you. If there's a next step, I propose a scope and budget.
What happens after the sparring session?
If there's a fit, I propose a scope and estimate a budget for it. That can be a focused UX review of your core flows or a full Design-to-Dev Setup. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you look at our way of working, or only at design?
Both. Most product problems don’t come from bad screens. They come from how design, development and AI-generated output connect, or fail to connect. I talk to founders, product leads and developers, and I review your codebase structure alongside your designs. Good design decisions need that full picture.
What do we get from a Design-to-Dev Setup?
A foundation your team can build on: a design system that serves as the single source of truth for designers, developers and AI agents. I take one real feature through the new workflow end to end. That proves the approach works on your product, not in theory.
How do you work with AI agents in our design-to-dev workflow?
I set agents up to work from your design system: tokens, components and usage rules they can apply consistently. Then I add review gates, so AI-generated design and code are checked against clear quality criteria before they ship. The AI makes you faster. The judgment keeps your product coherent.
Do we need a design system before AI tools are useful?
Not to start, but AI output only stays consistent when tokens and components are defined. Without them, every generated screen drifts a little further.
Which tools do you work with?
I’m tool-agnostic: I pick whatever fits your team and keeps the workflow efficient. I do have a preferred stack. Figma holds the design tokens and system. Figma MCP, Claude Code and Codex are my AI agents. Linear or ClickUp handle project management, and GitHub the code. On the frontend I usually work with Vue or React, often with shadcn/ui components, on a Laravel/PHP or Node backend. If your team already uses something else, I adapt to it rather than the other way around.
