claim_01
Designs for agents.
I design and prototype against the agentic surface itself — Claude streaming, MCP-pattern context, react-live previews — not screenshots of AI features.
Alex Leaming Design Engineer for AI agents.
Hybrid designer-developer. I design in Figma and ship in code with an AI-assisted workflow — production-ready code at ~85% by handoff, so there’s zero signal loss between vision and execution.

claim_02
Ships production-ready code.
I take work end-to-end through the DevOps pipeline — submit code, pass tests, merge PRs — at ~85% production-ready by handoff.
claim_03
Builds platform-level systems.
Figma component architecture, OKLCH design tokens, Storybook, governance — the kind of foundational work platform teams require.
02 / selected work
Five projects, agentic first.
DS Theme Mate v2
Agentic AI design tool — Claude streams themed React components from natural-language prompts, on OKLCH Figma tokens bridged to ShadCN.

03 / about
A short bio.
I’m a design engineer based in Denver. For 15+ years I’ve worked across the full stack of digital product — brand, system, surface, code — most recently building agentic AI tools and prototype platforms at One Fine Stay and Exclusive Resorts.
My current workflow runs on Claude Code CLI with MCP-pattern context design, which lets me ship production-ready code at ~85% by handoff and mentor adjacent designers into the same loop. End-to-end ownership, zero signal loss between vision and execution, and equally comfortable in Figma component architecture and a streaming Anthropic ai-sdk integration.
