I worked with StartAnOnline to build the visual identity for my new product-based brand.

We engaged StartAnOnline to design the UI for a web-based productivity tool developed by our student-led team.

We engaged StartAnOnline to develop a fully functional e-commerce platform for our local goods marketplace startup.

One improvement area would be the post-handover phase. A more detailed and beginner-friendly documentation or guide would have been beneficial for non-technical founders like myself. It would make the transition smoother after project completion.
