About this service

Summary

Who am I?

I've been a designer for 8 years at small to medium sized agencies, large and small agencies, and freelance for a variety of people and companies. I've had the difficult conversations, I've been laid off, fired, left a job early, and left a job when it was too late and the burnout had hit. I've made all the mistakes so that you never have to. I've worked on bus ads, billboards, websites, an entire Android operating system, motion graphics, iPhone and Android apps, an Apple Watch game, illustrations, and much more.

🤝 We'll Work Together On:
🖥 Web Design

Designing a website can be daunting. There's so many moving parts and technologies to learn. What languages do you use? Should you use Webflow or code it yourself. I'll help you break down when and why you should choose a specific path.

📱 Product Design

A client has asked you to design an app for them but you have no clue where to start. Even if you did know where to start, how do you follow through? We'll sit down together and discuss the process of designing a product, handing off a deliverable you can be proud of, and following up afterwards.

👨‍🎨 Design Critique

If you can't quite figure out why your design doesn't feel as good as you'd hope, we'll break down the why and how you can improve upon it.

💼 New Job Search

Help looking for a new job that treats you with more respect, values your time, and gives you the room to grow into a stronger creative.

📝 Job Resume

Get noticed by recruiters without doing any of the leg work in reaching out. Improve your resume for the right audience.

💬 Hard Conversations

Learn how to have the difficult conversation with your manager, your peers, and your direct reports. Guide the discussions towards the right questions and change the course of your relationships for the better.

Testimonials From Real People

Devin is one of the strongest design culture advocates I’ve seen. Not only was he eager to share knowledge and mentor other designers, he gave shape to huge design org initiatives at Zoosk like design systems, processes, and accessibility. I was always impressed about how knowledgable he is about implementation, making conversations with engineers efficient and productive. — Rosario Rodriguez https://www.rosarioarodriguez.com/





Devin started out as my mentor and shortly after became a close friend. He is extremely blunt and concise with his design approach, which I find really helpful when looking for design feedback. Devin has always encouraged me to stop and approach the problem from a completely different angle to see what new treasures can be unraveled within the design. He has always taught me to follow the rules first, then breaks them where possible. — Julia Dwyer https://www.juliafitzdwyer.com/

Devin is hands-down one of the most talented designers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Not only does he know and understand design principles, but he naturally has an eye for good design and always produced high-quality work. — Mel Chiri (Uzes) https://www.linkedin.com/in/meluzes/
