I design and builddigital productspeople lean in to.
A designer-developer partnering with founders and teams to ship expressive interfaces, performant web apps, and AI-native products that actually feel good to use.
What I do, end-to-end.
A focused practice across design, engineering, and AI. Engaged as a partner — usually solo, sometimes with a tight pod of trusted collaborators.

Premium perks for enhanced engagement.
The benefits of working with a small, sharp practice — without the overhead of an agency.
Direct collaboration
You work with me — no account managers, no proxies. Decisions get made in the same conversation they're raised.
Fast iteration
Tight feedback loops with weekly demos, shared Figma, and a live staging URL from day one.
End-to-end ownership
Strategy, design, build, and launch — under one roof, with one taste.
AI-native workflow
I ship with the same tools I design with. Every project gets the speed and polish that AI-fluent practice unlocks.
From first call to launch.
A simple, four-step engagement that keeps the work moving without ceremony.
- STEP / 01Next
Discovery
We align on goals, audience, and constraints. I audit what exists, study the space, and map the shortest path to something real.
- STEP / 02Next
Design
Concepts move quickly from sketch to high-fidelity, with motion and copy considered alongside layout — never as an afterthought.
- STEP / 03Next
Build
Production code from day one. Componentized, type-safe, and designed to outlive the launch.
- STEP / 04Final
Ship
We launch, measure, and iterate. I stay close after handoff so the work keeps getting better, not just older.
Hey — I’m Devon.
I'm Devon — a designer and developer based in San Francisco. For the past seven years I've helped founders, design teams, and AI labs translate ambitious ideas into products people actually want to live inside.
My background spans interface design, brand systems, and full-stack engineering. I work best when the line between design and code disappears — when the prototype is the spec, and the spec ships.
