The client had a site that worked, but wasn't doing much more than existing. They were a German B2B machine learning company, building complex solutions. Their previous designer had delivered something 'beautiful' but then disappeared.
Julian, the CEO, wasn't looking for a designer who could just make pretty things. He needed someone accountable - someone who would own the work and think beyond the immediate task. My first job was simply to take their existing design and build it in Framer.
It was a development-only gig. But then Julian noticed I was fast, communicated clearly, and actually thought about the bigger picture. The scope expanded. Full brand design system, social media templates, pitch decks that he now uses to close high-ticket ML contracts.
Then came a careers page that actively generates applicants and a redesigned lead flow with integrated chat. I even built a workflow for new 8-slide technical pitch decks to go from brief to finished, on-brand, in under two hours.
It wasn't a hard sell, just showing up and doing the work well. One good engagement, done right, turned into an ongoing partnership that's now lasted over 14 months. Sometimes, clients just want someone they can trust.
