Shaun is a product designer based in San Francisco, CA.

He's worked across agencies and early to mid-stage startups, usually when things are still taking shape.

Right now he's at Proof, a B2B legal-tech company, reimagining the client experience.

Proof

Overview

Proof helps law firms manage service of process, where documents are delivered by real people and assignments change often. When work moved between servers, clients couldn't tell what had happened or what was current.

I owned the experience from early vision through final design execution, with special care put into designing the new serve tracker and chat widget.

Problems

Important information was split across multiple pages

When jobs got reassigned, the story reset and users were left in the dark.

Repeated questions flooded our Ops team with avoidable chats

30% of chats only existed because the product didn't make job status clear.

Core Flows

*Scaled down for mobile, better on desktop.

A timeline that tells the whole story

Clients see exactly where their serve stands, what's happened, and what comes next.

We tested close to a hundred scenarios: delays, reassignments, failed attempts, multiple addresses, and edge cases. The tracker handles all of them.

All your chats in one place

Every conversation from every job, past and present. No switching required.

Every attempt, documented and verifiable

Location, photos, and server notes for each visit. When questions come up, the answers are already there.

Multiple addresses, one clear view

Clients can add, approve, or reject service addresses in one place.

No more digging through emails for documents

Documents stay with the serve, even when jobs get reassigned or take unexpected turns.

PROOF

A bird's eye view of every job

Firms can see all their serves at a glance, with clear insight into how each one is progressing.

PROOF

What we solved

Old data model

Every reassignment spawned a new job record, leaving clients unsure which page held the latest updates.

Job ID #1
Reassigned
Job ID #2
Reassigned
Job ID #3
???

One serve, one story

All progress, messages, and history now live on a single page, even when the work gets reassigned behind the scenes.

Job ID #1
Job ID #2
Job ID #3
Serve #1234

The redesigned serve page brings everything into one place. Clients can track progress, view attempts, and access documents without asking for updates.

Creatives.wiki

Overview

Creatives.wiki is a curated directory of designers, artists, and founders who are shaping culture today. It highlights people building independently, where work is often scattered and easy to miss.

I designed and built the entire site from scratch using Claude Code, treating it as a personal project to explore what a thoughtful creative directory could look like.

Geography

I designed a globe view to give a sense of where creative work is concentrated around the world.

Profiles

Each profile pulls together the companies, projects, and interviews tied to one person.

Reflection

Coding with AI made it clear that if you can articulate what's in your head, you can design almost any interaction directly in code. Instead of translating ideas through layers of tooling, I was able to shape the product in real time and get it to look and feel exactly how I imagined it, down to the smallest interactions.

Performance, data modeling, security, and deployment also became things I had to consider for the first time end to end. Designing something entirely for myself removed the usual friction and allowed me to go deep into every shadow, hover state, micro-interaction and easing curve.

Concreit

Overview

I spearheaded the design for a product that allows customers to invest in fractional shares of rental properties across the United States. This was a business critical and zero to one project.

As the sole designer at Concreit, I owned the entire design process from end to end. From research and ideation to user flows, prototyping, interaction design and visual design.

Reflection

The Home Shares launch expanded Concreit beyond a single investment product. Members could easily invest in individual homes, combining ownership and income in a way that felt clear and approachable. The redesigned dashboard and flows helped users understand their investments at a glance and move confidently from discovery to action, driving strong adoption and higher investment amounts.
