Hi, I'm Aimee

Rideshare driver turned UX Designer & Frontend Developer. Seven years reading people, solving problems on the fly, and earning 5-star ratings.

Now I design and build digital products that feel effortless to use — and handle the whole thing myself, from research to a live React app. This site included: designed in Figma, coded in React, deployed by me.

About Me

I didn't start in tech.
But I was always a designer.

I spent years behind the wheel, learning how to read people, solve problems on the fly, and deliver an experience worth a 5-star rating. Every ride was a small UX challenge — figure out what someone needs, remove the friction, make it feel effortless. What I didn't realize at the time was that I was already thinking like a designer.

When I made the leap into UX and frontend development, everything clicked. I earned my Google UX Design and Meta Frontend Developer certifications, and started building things I was genuinely proud of — React apps, high-fidelity prototypes, and UX case studies that solve real problems for real people. The more I learned, the more I realized design and development aren't two separate worlds. The best work lives right at the intersection.

At MentaMorph Inc, I worked as a UX Research Coordinator — creating user personas, running competitive audits, and introducing the team to Figma components and design systems. I helped shift the workflow from loose ideation toward scalable, reusable UI patterns. It reminded me why I made the switch: there's nothing better than watching your design decisions actually help someone.

Right now I'm available for subcontract and freelance work — design and UX overflow for studios, and full design-and-build projects for teams without a frontend developer in-house. Weekday availability, and I can usually turn a page or component around in a few days. I'm open to contract and full-time roles as well. I'm not just someone who can build it — I'm someone who cares deeply about how it feels to use it.

If that sounds like someone you want on a project, let's talk.

This site is itself a case study.

I designed and built every pixel and every line of code on this site myself — no template, no page builder, no agency. It runs on a React codebase I wrote by hand, from a design system I made in Figma. The full commit history is public, so you can read exactly how it came together.

How it was made
01
Researched and wireframed it
Studied portfolios that won their owners real work, worked out what a visitor decides in the first thirty seconds, then wireframed around that in Figma.
02
Designed the system, not just screens
Built a reusable type scale, colour tokens, and component variants in Figma so every case study page stays visually consistent without redrawing it each time.
03
Coded it from scratch in React
No template, no site builder, no drag-and-drop. Hand-written components, client-side routing, responsive breakpoints, and accessible markup.
04
Shipped and maintain it myself
Continuous deploys from GitHub to Netlify, custom domain and SSL configured by hand, SEO metadata and sitemap included.
Built with
  • ReactRouter, hooks, component architecture
  • Chakra UIThemed, responsive layout primitives
  • FigmaWireframes, hi-fi mockups, design system
  • Formik + YupValidated contact form
  • NetlifyCI deploy from GitHub, custom domain, SSL
  • Git / GitHubVersion control, public source history
