Forrest Smith
Stacks, workflows, and rituals I bring into each engagement.
Capabilities
React, Next.js, TypeScript, Astro, Tailwind, accessibility-first UI, progressive enhancement, performance tuning, state management patterns, Storybook-driven QA, design token systems, and animation frameworks that keep motion expressive but performant.
Internal tools, design system kits, developer workflows, component libraries, Figma-to-code pipelines, documentation ops, command-line utilities, Notion/Linear rituals, and automation scripts that glue marketing, ops, and engineering together.
Creative direction, art direction sprints, marketing sites, interactive storytelling, motion systems aligned with brand, photo/video treatments, typography pairing, and handoff kits that help in-house teams continue shipping without me in the room.
Leading multi-disciplinary pods, pairing with designers, mentoring engineers, and aligning exec stakeholders—with recent collaborations focused on real estate teams modernizing their digital stacks, bringing in lenders, IT partners, and brand agencies under one sprint plan.
