I had a startup reach out last week. They wanted a design system from scratch. All their existing work refactored and redesigned. Probably 4-5 months worth of work part-time.
I quoted them $45,000 because they wanted it done in less than 2 months.
They said that price was fine and they'd get back to me today.
They decided to hire a designer full-time at $80K a year. I think they will fire them after 2 months and get it done for a few grand.
Oh man!

Putting this out there 👋
I’m opening up for freelance work and looking to connect with founders, startups, and teams that need help shipping.
I can help with:
→ Building React/Next.js applications
→ Turning Figma designs into polished production experiences
→ Redesigning and improving existing products
→ Frontend architecture and UI development
Over the last 3+ years, I’ve worked with startups to design and build products, most recently leading the redesign and frontend development of SpacesOS- from product UI to the marketing website.
If you’re building something and need an extra pair of hands, or know a founder who could use help, I’d really appreciate an introduction.
Happy to chat (New here)🤝
Beautiful execution.
After working with founders across AI, SaaS, and automation projects, I realized one thing:
Most great ideas don't fail because of the technology, they fail because turning them into a real product is incredibly complex.
That's the problem I enjoy solving.
From AI product strategy and system architecture to MVPs, agentic AI, workflow automation, and production-ready web and mobile applications, I help founders transform ambitious ideas into products that people actually use.
I finally recorded a short introduction to share a little about who I am, what I build, and how I work with startups.
If you're building an AI product, launching an MVP, or looking to automate your business with AI, I'd love to connect.
Looking forward to collaborating with more founders and teams here on Contra.
