Services

S.1 Product & UX/UI Design
DiscoveryFlowsHi-fi UIDev handoff

End-to-end product design — from the first whiteboard sketch to developer-ready UI. Complex, data-heavy products are my home turf.

S.2 Design Systems
TokensComponentsMUIAdoption

Building token architecture and component libraries — and getting teams to actually adopt them. Did it at Capitolis on MUI; now building my own in the open.

S.3 MVP Design for Startups
Design sprintPrototypeInvestor-ready

Seed-stage speed: a shippable, investor-ready product design in weeks, not months. I shaped Capitolis from seed concept to enterprise platform.

S.4 Fractional Design Leadership
Part-timeProcessHiringQuality bar

Senior design ownership without the full-time hire — setting the quality bar, building process, and helping you hire the right designers.

Design System

psi-tokens 0.7.1

Every color, type step, spacing value and easing curve on this page resolves from @handamade/psi-tokens — a design system I build, version and publish.

Each theme derives every semantic role from a six-color palette using OKLCH relative color, clamping chroma so foreground, fill and border stay in gamut as the palette moves. The values below are read from the live stylesheet, never typed in — switch the theme and watch the same six roles recompute.
