I specialize in top-tier product and UX/UI design for startups and beyond. My approach is simple: I provide the quality of a top-tier studio with the agility and responsiveness of an in-house teammate.
As a former frontend engineer, I design with development in mind. I bridge the gap between creative vision and technical reality, ensuring a seamless transition from concept to a live, high-performance product. Beyond design, I also develop fully functional, ready-to-launch websites using Framer.
With 8+ years of experience in product design and UX/UI, I have successfully collaborated with 35+ clients worldwide. My happy clients include founders who previously worked at top tech companies like Twitter, Meta, Spotify, Amazon, and Snapchat. I have crafted sophisticated designs for notable projects like Higgsfield, Perceptis, nFactorial AI, Emerge Data, Atarino AI, Datemarks and others.
Who I Work With I partner with founders, SMEs, and startups globally. My ideal clients include:
Pre-seed & seed-stage startups
Bootstrapped founders
Teams building B2B SaaS and AI-first products
Creators of B2C mobile products
Core Services:
UX/UI Design: For Web & Mobile applications
AI-first Design: Thoughtful craft with exposure to the design of AI products
Design Systems & Flow Maps: Building scalable foundations
Framer Development: Turning web designs into live platforms
