I'm Shaun, a conceptual multidisciplinary designer based in Brooklyn, New York. I work across small design shops and large agencies, moving between both with ease.
My toolkit spans the full Adobe suite, Figma, Sketch, Framer, and Keynote, and lately I've been pushing further into AI-assisted workflows and vibe coding, exploring what becomes possible when creativity and emerging technology overlap. Detail-oriented and collaborative by nature, I'm always looking to connect with designers across every discipline.
Services
1. Design Systems
Design systems built to scale across products, platforms, and brands. Work focuses on modern system architecture—tokens, variables, components, and governance—designed to reduce maintenance, improve adoption, and align design and engineering teams around a shared source of truth.
2. Interactive Design
Interactive experiences shaped around clarity, responsiveness, and intent. Emphasis is placed on flows, states, transitions, and feedback—ensuring interactions feel purposeful, intuitive, and production-ready, not just visually compelling.
3. Visual Identity
Visual identities translated into flexible, digital-first systems. Color, typography, and layout are designed to remain expressive, accessible, and consistent across platforms, balancing brand expression with real-world product constraints.
4. Graphic Design
Graphic design grounded in strong fundamentals of hierarchy, composition, and craft. This work supports everything from marketing assets to product interfaces, bringing clarity and polish while maintaining efficiency and focus.
