Rails UI Consultancy

preview of three apps by Rails Designer

Does your Rails app looks a bit dated? Is your team drowning in a sea of JavaScript spaghetti-code? Or maybe don't need a full-time designer just yet?

I'm hired often by Rails teams around the world to help them steer their UI in the right direction.

Not just a designer, but a Rails Product Engineer

With more than two decades of UI- and web-design experience, over a decade of experience in Ruby on Rails, and many years of experience with ViewComponent, Tailwind CSS and Hotwire, I have probably seen every product engineering problem in a Rails app.

I don't come in and create static Figma mockups, I work in the code-base. From Ruby, the HTML, to (Tailwind) CSS ánd JavaScript.

🚀 Fractional Product Engineer

I help companies build better products, working with your team part-time as an experienced Rails Product Engineer. I show up in when you need the extra expertise, without the full-time commitment.

🎨 UI Modernization

I give dated apps a modern makeover, making them look fresh and current without starting from scratch.

🔂 One-off project

Need help with a single UI project? I accept select projects with a minimum budget of $1,000.

🏗️ Want a SaaS in one month?

I can also ship a SaaS From zero to customers in one month.

Who am I?

I built my first site in 1997 as a youngster, then continued to built sites for local businesses. Ten years later I moved into design and art-direction work. Fast-forward to 2016, with just a few years of experience with Ruby on Rails, I launched my first successful SaaS. I have since sold it and built various other SaaS' (again sold and another is still running).

Then launched Rails Designer in early 2024. A vehicle where I share tips, pragmatic howto's and open source tools for Rails UI engineering. I quickly got many requests every month to do custom, tailor-made work for teams around the world. That's when I decided to dedicate some time every month to help teams world-wide and package it into what you see on this page. Rails Designer is incorporated in The Netherlands.
