UX UI Designer & Front-End Developer | Figma Design Systems & Tailwind

🎯 Top expert in UX UI Design & Front-End | 💠 15+ yrs’ exp. 💯 DESIGN ENGINEERING — I turn user needs & business goals into Figma prototypes, design systems & production-ready UI. 🧩 AI-assisted Figma-to-Code & Code-to-Figma help cut rework & costs. I’m a UX/UI Designer, Product Designer & hands-on Front-End Developer. I turn complex workflows into intuitive, user-centered experiences that balance user needs, business goals & technical requirements. My engineering background helps me design beyond static screens: I understand application logic, API-driven data, component architecture, responsive behavior & real UI states. My work includes hotel booking journeys refined through A/B testing, ticket-purchase flows connecting venue maps with prices and fees, and Figma design systems aligned with frontend components. I’ve worked across fintech SaaS, healthcare, booking, event ticketing, eCommerce, dashboards, AI-powered products & conversion-focused websites. Hire me for UI UX Design or Front-End Development independently - or work with one specialist from Figma prototypes to production-ready interfaces and ongoing product improvements. ✅ UX/UI DESIGN, PRODUCT DESIGN & WEB DESIGN • SaaS UX/UI Design — intuitive interfaces for B2B products, fintech platforms, customer portals & complex web applications. • Dashboard UX UI Design — clear data visualization, tables, filters, search, reporting & admin workflows. • Website & Landing Page UX UI Web Design — responsive websites, eCommerce experiences & conversion-focused landing pages built around real user needs. • UX Research & UX Audits — competitive analysis, user flows, information architecture, wireframes, usability testing, user feedback & A/B testing where appropriate. • UI/UX Prototyping in Figma — high-fidelity screens, interactive prototypes, accessibility, visual hierarchy and realistic loading, empty, error, validation & success states. As a UI UX Designer with hands-on engineering experience, I make design decisions with both usability and implementation in mind - not as separate stages. ✅ FIGMA DESIGN SYSTEMS & UX ENGINEERING I create scalable, developer-ready Figma design systems using design tokens, variables, modes, Auto Layout, reusable components, variants, responsive breakpoints & documentation. Following Atomic Design principles, I align Figma components with frontend architecture and Tailwind CSS to improve consistency and minimize avoidable handoff issues. I work with Material Design 3, shadcn/ui, shadcn-vue, PrimeVue & PrimeReact, adapting patterns to each product. ✅ FRONT-END DEVELOPMENT & DESIGN-TO-CODE I build responsive, API-driven interfaces with React, Next.js, Vue.js, Nuxt, TypeScript, JavaScript, Tailwind CSS, HTML & CSS/SCSS. I can implement approved UI UX designs, create reusable components, or modernize an existing frontend. My work includes responsive fixes, component refactoring, accessibility, keyboard interactions, cross-browser testing & design QA - helping the experience stay consistent from Figma to production. 🤖 AI-ASSISTED DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT I use Figma AI, Figma MCP, OpenAI Codex, Claude & AI coding agents to streamline exploration, prototyping and implementation. My workflows include Figma-to-Code and Code-to-Figma, with component mappings, token references and clear project instructions. Automation can reduce repetitive work; I remain responsible for UX decisions, usability, visual fidelity and code quality. ✅ BRAND IDENTITY & VISUAL DESIGN I also create logos, color systems, typography, iconography & brand guidelines to keep websites and product interfaces visually consistent. 🤝 HOW I WORK Expect clear communication, practical recommendations, organized Figma files, documented decisions, version-controlled code & respect for confidentiality and NDAs. I prefer long-term collaboration and iterative product improvements. 📩 Looking for a UX/UI Designer who understands how software works - and can build the frontend too? Share your brief, existing product or Figma file. We can start with UX UI Web Design and keep improving your product through development and beyond.
