Two disciplines. One pair of hands.

Most teams hand a design from one person to another and lose something in the translation. I carry it the whole way through research, interface, API, database and deploy, so nothing gets lost between the pixel and the product.

How a pixel becomes a product.

  1. 01

    Listen

    Talk to the people who will use it. Find the real problem behind the requested feature.

  2. 02

    Define

    Turn findings into flows, data models and a short list of what “done” means.

  3. 03

    Design

    Wireframe, prototype and test with real users before a line of production code.

  4. 04

    Build

    Ship in small, working slices, with interface, API and database moving together.

  5. 05

    Refine

    Measure what people actually do, then sand down every rough edge.

I've worked side by side with Felix for over 6 years and I have never met a more committed, passionate or positive artist. Simply put, he lives to please through his design and you will not be disappointed.

There is nobody like Felix. I have worked with dozens and dozens of designers and no one has the creative clarity and code mastery that Felix brings to every project.
