About
Dhanai Holtzclaw
Los Angeles–based design engineer and founder. 20+ years in design, UI/UX, and front-end — from agency creative direction at DJcity and Ciplex to founding Takeout Order, where I hand-drew every design and grew the brand to $3.8M in gross sales since 2020.
When fulfillment broke at scale, I built a B2B printer portal on AngularJS and Firebase — real operators, every day. Now I'm building Margenie in Next.js: agent workflows, human approvals, Ops design system. I also shipped Parfade, a golf app for rounds and side games.
I use AI to move faster on implementation. Architecture, craft, and production decisions are mine.
