MVP Award · Q1 2026 — FanCode

UX Designer Supercharged with AI

I'm a product design leader with 8+ years of experience — across sports, OTT, payments, e-commerce, edtech and fitness. Most recently I've owned the highest-revenue surfaces at Dream Sports (FanCode), pairing research, data and UX expertise with agentic AI workflows so quality products that users love using and paying for.

Why Hire Me

One designer, three kinds of leverage

Sports is one industry I've designed for — payments, e-commerce, edtech and fitness are the others. The craft underneath is the same: research-led UX that moves a business metric, delivered fast.

01

Design that moves revenue

I design for the metric, not the portfolio shot — a renewal system that lifted recurring revenue +47%, payment funnels, and conversion engines on pages with millions of visits. Every project here starts with the business problem.

02

Systems, not one-off screens

30+ state architectures, multi-product design systems, CMS-driven components that marketing can run without a release. My work is built to hold up as the product and the team grow — not just to demo well.

03

AI-compounded velocity

I build agentic pipelines (Claude Code + Figma MCP) that take designs to production-ready code, and automation that generates 2,000+ graphics a month. The same craft, shipped in a fraction of the time.

AI Workflows & Design Automation

The leverage behind
how fast I ship

Agentic pipelines (Claude Code + Figma MCP) that turn design into production output, remove manual handoff, and compress design-to-live from quarters to days.

AI

Design System Documentation Engine

Claude Code + Figma MCP pipeline that auto-generates HTML kitchen-sink docs — components, foundations, iconography, product kits — directly from design tokens, eliminating manual handoff.

AI

Figma-to-Code Token Extraction

Agentic workflow extracting color, typography and spacing tokens from Figma to scaffold production-ready CSS/React components — cutting design-to-dev cycle time significantly.

AI

Responsive Prototype Automation

Converted Figma prototypes into functional responsive web code (React + TypeScript) with adaptive layouts for mobile, tablet, foldables and desktop from a single design source.

AI

Live Data Schedule Page Generator

Orchestrated an AI-driven build of a production-quality schedule page using FanUI components, integrating live API data — Figma spec to deployed code in one session.

Scale

2,000+ graphics / month

Engineered a Figma + Google Sheets automation pipeline generating thousands of graphics every month with zero manual design effort.

Scale

AI thumbnail generation at scale

Built an AI-driven system producing high-engagement video thumbnails from screen-grabs — automatically, across the FanCode catalogue.
