Design & build for founders

From an idea to a product people can use.

I design and build MVPs end to end, usually in two to four weeks. One person, from the first Figma frame to a product your users can touch.

The job

No team to manage, nothing measured in months.

Most founders don't need a full team to get moving. They need one person who can take a half-formed idea and turn it into something real enough to test and raise on.

That's the job. I design it in Figma and build it with whatever the product needs, whether that's Lovable, Framer, or AI-assisted coding like Claude Code for native iOS. You get a working product, not a folder of mockups.

How it works

Three steps, two to four weeks.

01

Scope

A short call to agree what the first version has to do, and what it doesn't. Tight scope is what makes a fast build possible.

02

Design and build

You watch it come together as it happens, not all at the end. Feedback as we go, no big reveal at the finish.

03

Hand off

A working product, ready to put in front of real users and demo to investors. It's yours to take forward.

Recent builds

A few things I've built recently.

CaliperFigma · Swift · Claude Code

A native iOS app that tracks every drive, service, and dollar for every car you own. Designed and built solo, now in beta with close to 100 testers.

AivyFigma · Lovable

An AI screenwriting product, designed and built end to end, from a genre-tailored questionnaire through to the pricing and subscription flow.

DittoFigma · Design system

Sole designer on an AI marketing platform. The trust and onboarding work helped it reach a $10M valuation.

Who this is for

Who I can help, and who I can't.

A good fit

  • Founders with an idea and no design or build resource.
  • Founders sitting on a rough build that needs to actually work and look right.
  • Anyone who needs something real in weeks, not months.

Not a fit

  • Anything that needs heavy custom backend engineering from day one. If that's you, I'll point you to the right person.
