02 Why hire me

What you get when you hire me.

Four things I bring to every role and project, each one backed by real work.

Design and code from one person.

I design in Figma and build in WordPress, React, and plain HTML/CSS. Nothing gets lost between the mockup and the live product.
Proof: Daily Agenda, designed and built end to end. See the Daily Agenda case study

Built for real use, not just the demo.

I test my work by living with it, then fix what breaks and write down why, so the next version is sturdier.
Proof: five real bugs found in daily use, fixed, and written up. Read the bug notes

Brand sense in every interface.

Nine years of graphic design means your product gets a real identity, not a generic UI kit.
Proof: Peacemade Craft, with brand, store, and copy designed together. See the Peacemade case study

Decisions you can follow.

I lay out options and tradeoffs in plain language, so you can make the call with me instead of guessing.

Proof: four security options compared before building. See the tradeoff

06 About

Design that respects the people using it.

I’m Jewell, a designer in Raleigh, NC. I’ve spent 9+ years in graphic design and 6+ in UI/UX, and I still care as much about a logo as a user flow.
My favorite projects need both: a brand that has to become a real product, or a product that needs an identity instead of a generic UI kit. I design in Figma and Adobe CC and build in WordPress, Elementor, HTML/CSS, and React, so what I design is realistic to ship.
