Ian Dykes // Design engineer
Design engineer & NN/g certified
Human behavior / production code
I bridge the gap between human behavior and production code.
I am an NN/g-certified Design Engineer. I don't just deliver Figma files and walk away; I take complex, high-stakes problems from peak uncertainty all the way to deployment.
Whether it is crafting joyful, frictionless consumer experiences or architecting rigorous, React-ready design systems for enterprise, my focus is on turning complexity into clarity.
I operate as a technical thought partner alongside Product and Engineering—meaning I care just as much about the API logic and system constraints as I do about the interaction design.
Work
Design engineering for ambitious digital products.
Case studies from strategy and UX through shipped surfaces—filter by focus or switch layout to scan the index.
Project index
Triad philosophy
Strategy, engineering feasibility, and users—one continuous loop.
Frame the bet: what is worth building, for whom, and what proof is required before scale.
