“If you’ve co-founded a brand, why are you still doing design work?”

I get this question a lot.

For me, design was never something I “moved on” from. It was my first love and it’s still the way I think, solve problems and build businesses.

Co-founding Gharko, a premium home décor brand, didn’t pull me away from design. It forced me to level up:

• I saw how a homepage actually affects sales.

• I learned how photography, copy and layout change trust.

• I had to design with inventory, logistics and margins in mind.

Now I work as an Independent Design Director for SaaS & ecommerce teams.

I get to bring both sides to the table:

the craft of digital design + the reality of running a brand.

If you’re a founder or product lead who wants calmer, clearer design grounded in real business experience, that’s exactly where I can help.
