Senior Full Stack Designer with 20+ years shipping product, brand, and code.

Hey, I'm Patrick - a UX-led designer who codes. I've spent my career sitting between design and engineering, translating fuzzy product ideas into shipped, branded, accessible interfaces that teams can build on and real users actually understand.

I work end-to-end: research and wireframes in Figma/XD, design systems and component libraries, production frontend in Vue, React, or Svelte, and the brand and copy that ties it all together. I've done it across a range of industries, with a focus on automotive and SaaS. I'm happiest when I'm partnered with a strong engineering team building something from the ground up.

Impact

    At CloudOne, I've been the design lead behind logos, type and color systems, websites, and marketing for every major product the company has launched.

If you're hiring for a senior designer who can also ship production frontend - or a frontend engineer who genuinely cares about craft and brand, I'd love to talk.
