Consistent, premium UI without a designer — via tokens, shadcn, and taste.

Section

Tokens First

Colors, spacing, radii, typography in one file. Everything else references them.

Section

Why shadcn Wins

You own the components. Copy in, customise, no upgrade hell.

Section

Typography Is 50%

One display font, one text font. Generous line-height. Never Poppins on white.

Section

Spacing Systems

8-point grid. If it feels wrong, add more space, not less.

Section

Polish Passes

A second pass focused only on hover states, transitions, and empty states. Ship after.
