01 Intro
The work I do, and why I do it.
I'm Luke, a UI/UX and Motion Designer with over two decades of experience making complex things feel effortless. I've worked across SaaS platforms, mobile apps, e-learning, and marketing sites, always with the same goal: identifying the gap between what the data says and what the client actually needs.
I work best in the middle ground between research and craft. I'm comfortable facilitating stakeholder walkthroughs, mapping user flows, and then switching to Figma, After Effects or Claude code to design the final product. That range is rare, and I've spent 20 years deliberately building it.
