Professional software engineering with design. With me, you don't have to hire a separate designer and engineer. I'll cohesively design and build your product idea from ideation through development and launch.
All these years of experience in software engineering have taught me a different approach to problem-solving. We tend to make the mistake of looking at a problem as a whole and that makes it seem difficult to approach already.
I flip this over on its head. What if I broke it down and approached it step by step?
You'll have everything ready in a single package. Design, animations, copy, illustrations, accessibility and a full-stack web application depending on your needs. Additionally, my knowledge of web3 means that I can handle those as well.
Process: 🪜
1. Introductory call 📞
I'll send you a link to my calendar where you'll pick a time that's convenient for you and we'll get to know each other and the problem you're trying to solve with your product or digital idea.
2. Discovery Call: 🔎
We'll go more in-depth into your project with this. You'll tell me about your existing and target audience, your current and future needs, your competitors, what you aim to achieve etc. This is where I'll learn as much as possible about your unique needs as a client to help me fine-tune my process to your specific needs.
3. Estimate: ⏳🏷️
I'll send you a time and budget estimate based on what I've learnt in the previous steps.
4. Roadmap and website/app flow: 🛣️
I'll send you a link with the user flow for your website/app. I'll list out the features and how they'll link with each other. I'll also have them listed in a roadmap to show you when each process will be completed.
We'll move on to my 3D process of Designing, Development and Delivery from here.
5. Design: 🎨👨🎨
Software design is an iterative process, the design here includes the process of creating tailor-made UI/UX prototypes and architecture for whatever software I'm building. Every client's need is different, I'll have Illustrations created and animated as required and won't stop iterating until I deliver something I'm proud of and you can be truly excited about.
6. Development: 🧑💻🏗️
Software development is where we build out the software itself. This is where a lot of the fun stuff happens. I'll have the ongoing project hosted on a free domain so you can always check to see the progress happening in real-time as I work on it. The fact that it's code doesn't mean you won't get to see it. You get to see the progress from day 1.
7. Delivery: 📦
This isn't a single process. It's integrated into my aforementioned processes. I'll walk you through the entire process so that as the client, you'll be able to know what exactly is going on with your project at any given time.
8. Final handoff: 🙌🏾✌🏾
I'll hand off your project to you and we can both hop on a call where I'll walk you through your new digital product and what's required to maintain it. I'll also have a customized manual included for your personal use so you can do some maintenance yourself. I'll transfer the files to your organisation's accounts if there's a need for that in your specific context as well.
What you'll get.
