About this service

Summary

As a product designer with a passion for creating purposeful, impactful products, I’m here to help you bring your ideas to life. Whether you're building a consumer product, a SaaS platform, or anything in between, I’ll work with you closely to ensure your design needs are met and your goals are achieved. Let’s create something great together!

Process

Initial Consultation: We’ll kick things off with a discovery call to discuss your goals, vision, project scope, and specific design needs. This will help me understand how we can best work together to bring your ideas to life.
Research & Discovery: I dive deep into your brief, style guide (if applicable), competitor research, and any supporting documentation. This phase is all about understanding your brand and your user’s needs to lay the foundation for an impactful design.
Design Phase: Based on the insights gathered, I’ll begin the design process, crafting high-quality wireframes and mockups. This phase includes creating components and systems in Figma that ensure consistency, scalability, and usability.
Prototypes & Iterations: After the initial designs, I’ll share interactive prototypes for feedback. You’ll get a chance to review and provide input, and I’ll iterate on designs to ensure they align perfectly with your vision.
Collaboration & Communication: Throughout the process, I believe in open communication. I prefer asynchronous communication (via Slack, email, or whatever tool works best for you) and often use Loom videos to share progress and updates. This allows for quick feedback without the need for constant meetings.
Final Designs & Handoff: Once you’re happy with the designs, I’ll provide all the necessary files, design assets, and handoff documentation. If required, I’ll also work with developers to ensure the designs are implemented seamlessly.
Ongoing Support: After the project is completed, I offer continued support to ensure the designs are implemented correctly and any final tweaks are made. For retainer clients, we’ll keep collaborating on future updates, iterations, and new features to keep your product fresh and user-centered.

FAQs

  • 1. What’s included in the retainer service?

    The retainer service covers a wide range of design needs, including product design, iOS app design, and design system/component creation. The specific deliverables will depend on the scope of your ongoing projects and what we agree upon during our initial consultations.

  • 2. How does the pricing work for the retainer?

    The pricing is based on a monthly retainer fee, which covers a set number of hours or design deliverables. The number of hours can be adjusted based on your needs, and additional work beyond the retainer can be billed separately. Let’s discuss your needs during our initial consultation to determine the best structure.

  • 3. Do I need to commit to a long-term contract?

    No, you don’t have to commit to a long-term contract. However, the retainer service is most beneficial when it’s an ongoing partnership, as this allows us to work on multiple iterations and updates to your product. We can always start with a trial period to see if we’re a good fit for each other.

  • 4. How quickly can I expect deliverables?

    The timeline for deliverables will depend on the complexity of the design project. Typically, the process for most design work involves an initial draft or prototype within 1-2 weeks. After that, iterations and final designs can take an additional 1-2 weeks depending on feedback and revisions.

  • 5. What makes you different from other designers?

    I’m not just focused on aesthetics; I deeply care about creating functional, purposeful designs that will help your product succeed. I prioritize communication, collaboration, and making sure that your product doesn’t just look good but also works well for your users. Plus, my experience across various design areas and my passion for learning new techniques ensures that I always bring fresh, creative solutions to the table.
