I specialize in designing intuitive, user-friendly digital products that balance form and function. My work blends creativity with problem-solving to create impactful experiences.
Design Systems
I build scalable and consistent design systems that streamline development, maintain brand consistency, and enhance collaboration between teams.
Wireframing & Prototyping
I turn early ideas into structured wireframes and interactive prototypes to test functionality and user experience before full-scale development.
I'm Ethan Brooks, product designer based in New York
I’ve worked with teams of all sizes, from agencies to solo projects. No matter the scale, I bring clarity, structure, and a passion for human-centered design.
Over the years, I’ve developed skills that span product strategy, research, and visual design. I lead with empathy and back decisions with data when needed. I’ve helped shape product roadmaps, mentor junior designers, and build design systems from scratch. Each project is a new opportunity to grow, innovate, and design something that matters.

Working with you was seamless and inspiring. The design feels intentional, sharp, and very easy to use.
You made our platform not only beautiful but also easier to navigate. I felt heard, and the result reflects that.
From wireframes to final prototypes, everything was delivered with care and clarity. Would definitely collaborate again!
You understood our vision better than we did. Every screen felt like it had a purpose, and the UI decisions made our app feel alive. Thanks for pushing the experience further than we expected.
Honestly one of the most thoughtful designers I’ve worked with. You asked the right questions, challenged assumptions, and delivered a user-friendly interface. Everything just worked and looked great too!
What kind of projects do you take on?
I focus on digital product design—mainly UI/UX for web and mobile apps, dashboards, and design systems.
Do you work with startups or larger companies?
Both! I enjoy helping early-stage startups bring ideas to life, and I also collaborate with larger teams on scaling or redesigning existing products.

I mainly use Figma for UI/UX design, and supplement with tools like FigJam, Adobe CC, and Notion for planning and collaboration.
Can you also build the design into code?
Yes! I specialize in frontend development and can build responsive websites using Webflow, Framer, and WordPress
How do you usually start a new project?
I usually begin with a discovery call to understand goals, users, and requirements. Then we move into wireframing based on feedback.

I work remotely with clients worldwide but am open to hybrid or on-site setups if needed.
Are you available for freelance work?
Yes, I currently take on freelance projects depending on the timeline and scope. Feel free to reach out to check availability.
