About
Hiya! 👋 I’m Billy and i’ve been in the digital product space for almost a decade.
I'm a designer that ships real, working applications. Today I sit comfortably at the intersection of design and code, using tools like Figma, VS Code, GitHub, React, and AI tools like Claude, Copilot and Codex to take products from concept to production.
My mentoring would be best suited to designers who feel the pull towards building, you're comfortable in Figma but curious about what's on the other side of the handoff. Maybe you've opened a GitHub repo and felt lost, or you've played with AI coding tools but don't know how to make them part of a real workflow. That's where I can help.
I can help with:
- Getting confident with GitHub, Git, VS Code, and working in a codebase as a designer in a company setting.
- Move past the point of using AI tools for personal projects. I can help with leveraging Claude, Copilot and Codex to actually ship features, understand workflows and work with engineering to ship UI to production.
- Understand React and component-based thinking to apply this to your work
- Integrate AI into your day-to-day product design workflow
If you're a designer who wants to stop handing things off and start building them, book a session. Come with a project in mind if you have one. Either way, we'll figure out the best next step for you.

My sessions with Billy involved Figma, GitHub, and Claude Code. They were very hands-on, and even in just two sessions, Billy’s insights and knowledge have helped me improve my work, drastically change my process, and open up new avenues for me. He really knows his craft and has some great resources to share. I would highly recommend Billy to anyone looking to become a more skilled and well-rounded designer.
