About

Chaz Moore

Portland, Oregon based product designer and developer, with expertise in research, analytics, UX, and beautiful UI. I work fully remote, currently at Owner.

Most days you'll catch me crafting (spoon carving, knitting, crocheting), hiking around Oregon, or cuddling my cats.

How I Use AI

AI is part of how I design and ship now. I work with Claude Code daily — prototyping ideas, writing production code, and building tools (this site included). It's expanded what I can deliver as a designer who codes.

Tools & Techniques

  • Claude Code (agentic coding, MCP servers, slash commands, hooks)
  • Claude API integration for product features
  • Prompt design and evaluation
  • AI agents and tool use

Work History

From website builders to eCommerce giants, my journey since 2016 has centered on making digital creation more intuitive. I've helped millions of entrepreneurs turn their ideas into reality — whether they're customizing their first storefront or building a website that perfectly captures their vision.
