Hi, I’m Frank Spin. I design and build my own digital products under the name
Made by Spin
I’ve been doing the same for clients for almost twenty years.
Where I can help
I’ve been designing and building digital products since 2007, for clients and for myself. This is where that experience pays off most.
From idea to first version
A good product starts with sharp choices. I bring an idea back to its core: which problem we solve and what the first version has to prove. Then I build that version myself. With AI in the workflow, you have something working in weeks instead of months.
Design and engineering in one hand
Because I design and build, the two never wait on each other. I make every design decision with the engineering in mind, and the other way round. That cuts out handovers and stops a good design from turning out unbuildable later.
Putting AI to work in your team
I work with Claude Code and Codex every day, on my own products too. I bring that experience to your team: a way of working where AI handles the repetitive work and people make the decisions. A design system and clear conventions in the code keep the quality where it should be.
Building on after launch
A launch is a starting point. I look at usage and data, pick the improvements that matter most and ship them in small steps. That is why clients keep working with me for years: Payt for nine, Fitbrand for eight.
Products I built myself
Under the name Made by Spin I build and run products of my own. Fourteen are live, thirteen are about to launch.
