Elvis Preye Kerebi

Design engineer — I design and I code.

Work with meArticlesResume

I design and build interfaces that actually ship. I focus on systems, prototypes in code, and measurable UX. I work at the intersection of product strategy, research, and production code. I’ve spent 5+ years turning user problems into working products. I learn fast and keep the work practical.

What I do

  • Product strategy

    Turn user problems into clear roadmaps and measurable bets.

  • UX design (research-led)

    Run focused research, design accessible flows, validate with quick tests.

  • Prototype → production

    Build high‑fidelity prototypes in code and ship production‑ready components.

How I work

  1. Research

    Talk to real users. Find the smallest risky assumptions.

  2. Prototype in code

    Make trade‑offs visible early with TypeScript/Next prototypes.

  3. Ship

    Turn proven prototypes into components and systems.

  4. Measure & iterate

    Track simple metrics and run short experiments.

Outcomes I focus on

  • Faster handoffs between design and engineering.
  • Predictable, maintainable design systems.
  • UX wins that move business metrics (task success, reduced errors, faster flows).

Quick facts

  • 5+ years in product design and front‑end engineering.
  • I write production code and design systems.
  • I mentor designers and work closely with engineers.
