About Geffrey van der Bos
Driven by quiet rebellion and stubborn curiosity, I wander into systems and ask, “what if?” I design software to help people navigate financial stress and I’m obsessed with music. Husband to Illustrator Julia and guardian of Loki the Shiba Inu.
My Figma file for Mimir diverged from the current application because of my incessant CSS tweaking.
Wanted to try something. I asked Claude to redraw the application (the stylesheet and DOM) into Paper.design.
It did pixel for pixel. Clean. Layout (flexbox) included. Tokens transferred. Everything works exactly as you'd expect.
