UX designer
who builds.

I design product UX and design systems for complex operations software, and I ship them in code. I also spent twelve years in brand, packaging, web, and product.

Process

The same five steps on every product project. The line under each one is what it looked like on Trips 2.0 and the design system.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Talk to the people doing the work before drawing anything.

    Trips 2.0: discovery and field research before shipped components.
  2. 02

    Define

    Information architecture, flows, and a shared vocabulary between design and code.

    System: component names and props chosen so engineers and AI tools build the same thing.
  3. 03

    Design

    Figma components first, then high-fidelity mockups the team reviews before build.

    Tools: Figma, Claude Design for extra mockups and components.
  4. 04

    Build

    Ship it in the product's own stack, with accessibility in the component, not a late review.

    Stack: Blazor, Razor, Radzen, Material. Claude Code skills carry Figma to front-end.
  5. 05

    Measure

    Check the result against the job the screen was supposed to do.

    Result: average dispatch time down 60% after Trips 2.0.

How each case study is laid out

Each one follows this order.

  1. 01ProblemWhat was broken, and for whom.
  2. 02RoleWhat I owned, who I worked with, how long.
  3. 03ProcessResearch, sketches, flows, and the rejected options.
  4. 04SolutionFinal screens or work, annotated.
  5. 05OutcomeNumbers where they exist, plain words where they don't.
  6. 06What I'd changeOne honest thing.
Portrait of Ramon Reyes
/ About

I'm a designer who also writes the code.

I'm Ramon Reyes, a UX designer in Stockton, California. For the last two and a half years I was the only UX person at an aviation fuel marketplace, where I designed the product, the marketing site, and the mobile app, and built the design system the team used to ship them.

Before that I spent a decade in graphic design and front-end: packaging for national retail brands, e-commerce, and print. That background is why my interfaces are built to look finished, not just function.
