Design is easy... keep it simple... place stuff where it always is.. use modern fonts(one for headers text and other for paragraphs).. proper spacing ... .. color contrasting colors and one color that is opposite of all others used to highlight x. Also find another designers work you love and use it as a template/for inspiration.

I love designing and especially in code. I don’t understand what’s the point of wireframe designers yet I have been rejected by numerous interviews/jobs for being a design coder vs. a wireframe Designer.

Most of the time easy thing is not that easy. It needs proper understanding on user, context, demography etc. Most of the code generating tools creates junk and useless code with random ids which are hard for developers to integrate with logic, he has to change it to make it more semantic. Hence,companies look for specific people when they have a team of html designers separately.
It’s faster to draw a box then to code one. When still getting buy in from the team and testing your ideas with users, the ability to iterate quickly counts
Try Framer [1]. You're still designing in code, but using a tool that "wireframe" designers can more easily understand and appreciate. Might help with the interviews. :)
