I work across UX, visual design, responsive systems and implementation, turning complicated requirements into websites people can actually use.
Websites for towns and cities across the U.S., designed around accessibility, findability and the everyday work of local government.

Designed experiences I take beyond the handoff, using AI-assisted development to build, refine and publish the interaction myself.

Product flows, interaction systems and identity work live in their own space rather than competing with the website work on this homepage.
I'm Esraa, a Web and UI/UX Designer with 5+ years of professional experience across municipal, commercial and product work.
My work can start with discovery and information architecture, move through wireframes and responsive UI, and continue into accessibility, design systems, developer collaboration, staging, QA and implementation support. I’m also comfortable close to the build: practical HTML and CSS, GitHub, Vercel, staging and deployment, plus Claude and other AI-assisted workflows that let me prototype, edit and publish selected experiences quickly without treating implementation as a black box.
I begin by understanding what the client wants the site to accomplish, what their users need to find quickly, what is not working today, and what should feel different in the new experience. For municipal clients, that often means balancing resident self-service, public information, accessibility and a visual identity the community can recognize as its own.
My role often spans onboarding and discovery, information architecture, UX, visual direction, responsive UI, design systems, client reveals, revisions, accessibility, QA and implementation support. On many projects I am the sole designer, so I am responsible for keeping the experience coherent from the first conversation through the final screens.
I present the reasoning behind a direction, listen for what the client is reacting to, and turn that feedback into focused revisions rather than disconnected visual changes. Projects like Dalton moved through multiple concepts and client input before the strongest ideas were combined into one final direction.
I work closely with developers and project managers to make sure responsive behavior, spacing, typography, components, hover and focus states survive implementation. I review staging, troubleshoot design issues and help translate the intended system into something that works in the browser.
I use practical HTML and CSS, staging tools, GitHub and Vercel, plus AI-assisted development with tools such as Claude. That lets me prototype interactions, make controlled front-end adjustments, troubleshoot implementation issues and, for selected projects, take a design all the way to a live build myself.
Especially in municipal work, accessibility shapes decisions from the beginning: readable hierarchy and contrast, keyboard and focus behavior, predictable navigation, responsive content and components that remain usable across different ways of accessing the site. I carry those considerations through design, developer collaboration and QA.
Feedback from clients, municipal teams and people I have worked with directly.
Thank you for being an absolute champ to work with! You are creative and meet deadlines and help out and make life that much better!
The committee is very pleased with the home page and department page designs and voted to approve them.
This, so far, this is right on with what I was envisioning.
You did a really nice job of capturing all of that that we asked you to do.
Esraa was a true pleasure to work with! She showed incredible initiative from the start and approached the work with a spirit of genuine enthusiasm and professional rigor.
Esraa is my go-to developer for all Framer projects. She’s fast, highly responsive, and very pleasant to communicate with.
Those are usually the interesting ones.
