Available for new projects from March
From first sketchto working code.
I'm Alex, a designer and front-end developer. I work with small product teams and studios, and stay on a project from the first sketch to the deploy.
What I do
I work on the part of a product people actually touch. Interfaces, design systems and the code behind them, in the same hands, so nothing gets lost between design and development.
Design
Interfaces, design systems and prototypes.
Build
Fast websites and web apps in modern TypeScript.
Engagements
Fixed-scope projects, or ongoing work on a monthly retainer.
Selected work
Products
Side projects that shipped

Process
Four steps, no surprises.
- 01
Brief
A call about goals, audience and deadline, followed by a written scope with a fixed price and date.
- 02
Design
Rough layouts first, then final screens. Every step is open for feedback, not only the end result.
- 03
Build
The design turns into code on a preview link, ready to click through on any phone.
- 04
Launch
Deploy, a short handover on running it day to day, and support afterwards when needed.
