How I work
Small steps, shared every week

A free 30-minute call to understand the problem and whether I'm the right fit.
Sketch
Research, flows and rough ideas on paper. Cheap to change, quick to test.
Design
High-fidelity screens and a clickable prototype tested with real users.
Ship
I build it or hand over a spotless file, then stay on for two weeks of fixes.
Rare to find someone who designs this well and also writes the code. Our coaches got their Sundays back.
