My Work About Me

Design & Build Sprint

Stop imagining. Start building.

I build high-fidelity prototypes and functional micro-apps to kickstart your product.

The Challenge

Static Mockups Only Tell Half the Story.

Traditional design processes often fail at the hand-off. Intricate interactions get lost, logic gets overlooked, and developers are left guessing.

I combine aesthetic intuition with technical capability to build functional reality. Whether you need to validate a complex feature, launch a marketing tool, or visualise your idea, I deliver code-ready assets that accelerate your roadmap.

The Solution

My Design & Build Sprint leverages a design engineering approach to deliver functional code, not just mockups. We bypass the hand-off headache and accelerate time-to-market.

Code-First Validation

We skip the static mockup loop. You receive a functional, code-based prototype or micro-app engineered for real-world interactions and immediate user testing.

Specialized Focus

I build the specific, complex component or utility application you need—a calculator, a data widget, a lead magnet.

Guaranteed Hand-off

The delivery is clean: you get the deployed link, the fully documented source code, and a clear path to integrate it, eliminating developer guesswork.

Accelerated Time-to-Market

By combining design and development expertise, I deliver a shippable front-end asset in weeks, not months, dramatically shortening your product roadmap.

How It Works

A one week sprint to build a prototype or custom micro-app.

01 Day 1

Scope & Setup

We finalize the single feature, component, or utility app scope. We establish technical requirements and set up the code repository and framework.

02 Day 2-4

Build & Refine

I design the UI/UX and immediately begin coding the functional front-end asset in React. A review link is shared for async feedback and directional checks.

03 Day 5

Review & Deploy

We meet to review the final working asset. I document the code structure, deploy the asset to a temporary URL, and transfer the complete source code repository to your team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact me to learn more about the Design & Build process.

It's a one-week engagement where I design and code a functional asset for you—essentially skipping the 'static mockup' phase. Instead of just pictures of a product, you get the actual product (or a high-fidelity prototype of it) running in the browser.
Yes, 100%. Upon completion and final payment, you receive the full source code repository, documentation, and all assets. You are free to modify, deploy, and scale it as you wish.
Speed and focus. I dedicate a blocked-out week solely to your project. By combining design and development, I eliminate the back-and-forth communication lag that typically slows down projects.
I primarily build with Astro, React, and Tailwind CSS. This ensures the output is modern, performant, and easily integratable into most contemporary web architectures.
Yes, I use AI to help generate code and ideas. However, AI does not replace my knowledge of best practices, performance, and accessibility. I always review and refine the code to ensure it meets the highest standards of quality and performance.
