Israel Valverde

UX/UI Designer & UI Engineer

I design and build — from concept to production.

I'm a UX/UI Designer and UI Engineer who works at the intersection of design and code. I've shipped AI-powered dashboards, omnichannel retail experiences, and enterprise platforms — handling the full journey from user research and interface design to front-end implementation.

What sets me apart is that I don't stop at the handoff. I build what I design using React, Next.js, and modern component systems, which means my work translates directly into production without friction. I also leverage Claude Code to optimize workflows, accelerate development, and maintain code quality — letting me move faster without sacrificing precision. I'm especially interested in roles where design quality and engineering precision are both valued — whether that's as a UX/UI Designer, a UI Engineer, or both.
