Most clients have never received a proper UX audit before.

So the first thing I do is set expectations, not about design, but about what they're going to read.

Here's the structure I used for a recent legal software audit:

The one core observation (structural, not cosmetic)

Why first impressions are high-stakes for this specific audience

*A before/after comparison, current state vs refined experience

*Business impact, tied to real B2B SaaS benchmarks

*A proposed engagement path phased, low-risk

Notice what's not in there: no jargon, no design theory, no "per gestalt principles."

The client is a founder or product lead. They care about conversions, trust, and time. So everything in the deck speaks their language.

A deliverable that communicates clearly is part of the design work. If they can't read it, they can't act on it.

Prospective client interest is strongly correlated with how much you don’t need the gig. People want what they can’t have.

Be the prize.

Typography exploration for a client. ⬇️

As a brand designer, typography is one of the first places I test a brand’s personality. I ask myself: how should this brand sound if it could only speak through type?

I play with weight, spacing, and rhythm. Small shifts change everything. The same sentence can feel trustworthy, aggressive, or effortless just by adjusting the typography.
