Just sent my first freelance proposal to a NYC fintech.
The whole idea is simple: activate the first purchase as fast as possible, then make the wheel keep spinning through lifecycle, retention, and habit loops.
We’ll see what they say 👀
Fantastic work on this. The structure, pacing, and design choices make the entire presentation highly effective.
Thank you Atolai, the client seemed to like the proposal :)

What working with me looks like -
landing page, design to live Framer build:
7 days.
Day 0 -
I research your brand and competitors before the call.
You show up to discovery already feeling understood.
Proposal sent the same day.
Day 1 -
Moodboard with you. Lock direction early.
5 minutes here saves 5 hours of wrong design.
Day 2 -
Full copy written before I open Figma.
The words tell you what the layout needs to be.
Not the other way around.
Day 3-4 -
Design. Hero section gets 40% of my focus.
If a visitor doesn't get your product in 8 seconds,
The rest of the page doesn't matter.
Day 5-6 -
Framer build. Animations.
I send a live link - not a PDF, not a screenshot.
You can feel it before it launches.
Day 7 -
Revisions. Launch.
Just got accepted into Contra Labs as a Web Designer 👀
Really grateful for the opportunity.
Thank you @contra for the trust 🤍
Excited to see where this goes.
Congratulations 🎊
Some prototypes need to work. Others need to sell.
We built an interactive Figma prototype for an insurance SaaS startup — not for users, for investors. Dashboard, calendar, document folders, even an LLM chat simulation. All Figma, no code.
Designing for a demo is different. First impressions matter more than edge cases. The happy path needs to feel effortless. You're designing for 15 minutes of attention, not 15 hours of daily use.
The client told us the prototype was very useful for their investor conversations. That's the job.
If you need a prototype that sells before the product exists — we've done this a few times now.
