## How Sifat Works

Sifat treats each project as a design problem with a real audience, not a template to fill. He starts with the world behind the work: who the client is, who they serve, and what they need the site to do. Then he builds a coherent system — hierarchy, typography, motion, and content architecture — that stays faithful to the original direction through production.

He is comfortable across the full stack: design in Figma, development in React/Next.js, and deployment on Vercel or Cloudflare. He also works in Webflow and WordPress for clients who need to edit their own content.
