About Projects Journal

From brief to launch every pixel with purpose

I design websites and digital products that work — for users and for business. 8 years of turning ideas into polished, functional experiences.

Good design doesn't start in Figma. It starts with understanding — the product, the people using it, and the goals behind it. I follow a clear four-step process that keeps every project grounded, collaborative, and moving in the right direction from day one.

Approach
Immersion

Every project starts with listening. I dive deep into the brief, talk to stakeholders, interview team members, and collect everything I need to understand the product, the audience, and the business behind it.

Strategy

Once I understand the landscape, I document my approach. This is where I outline goals, define user flows, map out content structure, and align on priorities. Everyone sees the plan before a single screen gets designed.

Design

With a solid foundation in place, I move into wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs. Every decision ties back to the strategy — layout, hierarchy, interaction, visual language. Nothing decorative for its own sake.

Development

When the project calls for it, I also build. I work in WordPress and Webflow to take designs from static screens to live, responsive web pages — keeping the details intact from Figma to browser.

Always built on trust

Upwork

Mike helped us design and develop our new website in Webflow. He is very responsive to changes and iterations, and helped find faster ways to implement what we wanted.
