FAQs

  • How long does a typical project take?

    The timeline depends on the project scope. A small website or app design typically takes 2-4 weeks, while a more complex SaaS dashboard or product design can take 6-12 weeks. I provide a clear timeline after the discovery phase.

  • Do you provide development services, or just design?

    I specialize in UI/UX design, but I work closely with developers to ensure a smooth handoff. My Figma files are structured for development, and I provide detailed annotations to make the transition seamless. If needed, I can also recommend trusted developers.

  • How do you ensure the design aligns with my brand and business goals?

    I begin with an in-depth brand and business discovery session, reviewing your visual identity, target audience, and competitors. Throughout the process, I ensure that the design reflects your brand’s personality while optimizing for user engagement and business objectives.
