Fastest MVP Delivery
Strategy to shipped product — including dev handoff and QA cycle.

Design that a
developer can
actually build on.

Most designers hand off Figma files. I hand off working code, annotated logic, and component specs — the kind of output that goes straight into a sprint without a translation layer. At above 90%, I hit the sweet spot between stakeholder alignment and engineering clarity.

01

Strategy

Diagnosis before prescription. I start with your user reality, your business constraints, and your engineering capacity. Then I design a path that doesn't require a pivot to survive contact with the team.

02

Execution

AI-accelerated production. I use Cursor, v0, Claude, and custom component pipelines to move fast without losing fidelity. Running costs, not time. Shipping code, not static files.

03

Handoff

Developer-ready deliverables. Annotated HTML/CSS components, documented interaction states, and async Q&A coverage so engineering never has to guess what you meant.

Three stages.
From idea to
running code.

Most engagements start with a free consult. From there, you can commission a landing page to stress-test a concept, or move straight into a retainer for ongoing product design coverage. No lock-in beyond the value delivered.

Proof of work,
in their words.

Jonathan is a natural, and well above average. He's client-orientated — and goes beyond the brief constantly. He takes an exceptional depth of focus while delivering his design is to affect cohesive, universally held value.

Jonathan was great to work with. He takes strong initiative and provides valuable strategic direction. I look forward to working with him more long term. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds.
