Hey, I'm McEal. I'm a product designer — two years of freelance, a handful of shipped interfaces, and I'm looking to take on something impactful.
I design products end to end. The messy problem, the first-run, the empty state, the sentence that makes a first-time user feel considered. I care about work that has to earn trust — money, health, the unglamorous systems people lean on when life is already loud.
Currently available for freelance and full-time. If you're building something that has to land in someone's actual week, write me.
Selected work
Interaction prototypes
I'm building a series of small web prototypes to sharpen interaction craft — hold states, snap scrolling, error feedback, the last 10%. Hover or tap each one.
Hold to peek
Press and hold a payout card to reveal the full account line. Built so sensitive details stay quiet until you mean to look.
Contribute
₦5,000
Snap amount
Scroll to pick a contribution instead of typing. The nearest value snaps into the field — closer to how people actually send money.
Enter PIN · try anything but 2048
Wrong-code shake
An incorrect PIN shakes the input and resets. Instant, physical feedback — no error banner competing for attention.
Done, then reorder
Check an item and it rises to the top of done. The list restacks so the work still in front of you stays in front of you.
About
I'm two years in. I started taking freelance briefs while teaching myself systems, interaction, and the boring discipline of shipping. I have more hunger than pedigree, and I'm looking for a team — or a founder — doing work that actually shows up in someone's week.
I care about the last 10%. Writing that sounds like a person. Interfaces that feel considered on a cheap Android as much as a Pro display. I don't want to decorate products. I want to make them make sense.
Lately I've been designing savings circles, clinic intake, and a notes tool I still use myself. Before that I took whatever briefs would let me get closer to real users — landing pages, brand systems, the odd dashboard. Useful, not always proud. The work above is what I want more of.
