AI coding: a designer expands into client automation.

Lucas Stoffe · Freelance designer

Lucas Stoffe is a freelance designer who had no coding or server experience. He learned to build a jewellery website backed by product data, then began taking on business automation work for another client.

The challenge

Lucas could design a website, but turning the design into a working product required new skills. The jewellery project needed a database, a way to display real products and a reliable process for changing the code.

02

What we did

We worked through specifications and used Cursor, Claude Code and Antigravity to develop the site. Coaching covered connecting Supabase product data, managing changes with GitHub and understanding the difference between a development build and a deployed website.

03

Where AI improved the work

The project gave Lucas experience across the parts of a build that had previously been outside his design work.

  • Design into a working site

    Turned a jewellery-site design into a development build with real product data.

  • Product data and updates

    Connected the site to Supabase so product information could come from a database.

  • A broader client service

    Applied his new building skills to business automation work for another client, alongside his design services.

04

What changed

Lucas built a working site and gained the confidence to take on automation projects. His services expanded from designing interfaces to helping clients make software and business processes work.
