Goals System

A personal goal-tracking system built on research into goal-setting theory and behavior change — including the WOOP framework — translated into a calm, intuitive product that turns big life ambitions into trackable weekly action. Designed and built solo end-to-end, from information architecture to a fully bilingual English/Hebrew experience. I use this everyday 😎

The site you're looking at right now — designed, planned, and built by me as an ongoing practice space for exploring how product thinking, motion, and craft come together, from an interactive physics-driven hero to a content-first architecture. Used Claude Code to help finish and polish the implementation, as part of a real, everyday design-to-code workflow.

About

I’m a Design Engineer with 10+ years of experience across frontend engineering, interaction design, motion design, and digital product development — sitting at the intersection of design craft and technical execution, building interfaces that are polished, fast, and easy to use.

I have a strong background in design systems, connecting product design with real, production-ready code. I’m curious about how people think and behave, and I use that understanding to build interfaces that are both crafted and effective — increasingly with the help of AI tools that let designers and engineers work closer together.
