Clean, strategic design that doesn’t just look good — it performs

👋 Ready to design a product your users (and investors) will love?

Send a message here on Contra or reach me at onethirdesigner@gmail.com with your project idea.

Let’s build something worth launching. 🚀

Process

We kick off with a discovery session to align on vision, goals, user needs, and preferred visual direction.

Then I share a structured plan, timelines, and tools I’ll use (typically Figma).

Design begins in phases — from wireframes to high-fidelity mockups — with regular check-ins for feedback.

Final assets are delivered organized, ready for dev, and exportable in all required formats.

FAQs

Do you provide development along with design?
I specialize in UI/UX design but also build websites in Framer. For custom-coded apps, I can connect you with trusted developers.
Can you design micro-interactions or motion?
Yes — I use tools like Jitter and Figma Smart Animate to bring the interface to life with subtle motion and clarity.
Will I receive design files and assets?
Absolutely. I deliver well-organized Figma files, exportable assets (SVG/PNG), and any documentation needed for handoff.
How do you handle revisions?
I believe in open collaboration. You’ll get structured rounds of feedback and revisions baked into the process.
Do you work with early-stage startups?
All the time. I love turning early ideas into polished MVPs that are pitch-ready and user-tested.

What's included

Figma Design Files
You’ll receive fully organized and structured Figma files, including all screens, components, and design elements. Everything will be built with consistency, clarity, and scalability in mind — making collaboration easy whether you’re working solo or with a dev team.
Interactive Prototypes
To bring your app experience to life, I’ll create interactive prototypes in Figma. You’ll be able to click through key flows and interactions, making it easy to review, test, and share with stakeholders.
Style Guide & UI Components
Scalable and developer-friendly design systems with clear style guides — covering color, typography, spacing, and components — all neatly organized in Figma for consistency across your product.
Design Assets in Multiple Formats
Need assets ready for development? I’ll export and deliver icons, images, and components in various formats (PNG, SVG, PDF, etc.) so your dev team has everything they need to build confidently.
Optional Handoff / Strategy Session
Want to walk through the design together? We can schedule a handoff or strategy session to go over key decisions, user flows, and implementation guidance — ensuring a smooth transition from design to development.

We had the pleasure of working with Harsh, and he’s one of the best UI/UX engineers we've ever collaborated with. He is extremely passionate, talented, and professional. We initially approached him with just an idea and some rough documentation, and from there, he designed the entire platform. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Harsh was his willingness to take full ownership of the product, provide valuable product suggestions. I highly recommend working with Harsh!
