Freelance product design · Projects & retainers

Working on a product people need to figure out?

I help founders and teams turn complex requirements into products people can use. From early ideas to live SaaS platforms, I work on the flows, interfaces and systems behind them.

WHAT I CAN HELP WITH

Where do you need help?

  1. Turning an idea into a first product

    You know what you want to build, but the product still needs a clear shape. I help define the core journeys, decide what belongs in the first version, and design the experience around it.

    Typical work: Product flows, information architecture, wireframes, interface design and prototypes.

  2. Making an existing product easier to use

    Maybe onboarding takes too long. A dashboard has grown complicated. Or users need help completing something that should be straightforward. I work through the problem and redesign the parts getting in their way.

    Typical work: UX reviews, onboarding, dashboards, multi-role workflows and interface improvements.

  3. Designing AI features people can work with

    The generated answer is only part of the experience. I design how people give instructions, review results, make corrections and stay in control when the output isn’t quite right.

    Typical work: AI assistants, generation flows, review and approval steps, loading states and error recovery.

  4. Giving a growing product a consistent system

    As features and teams grow, small inconsistencies become harder to manage. I help bring the interface together with reusable components and patterns that support the next round of work.

    Typical work: Design systems, component libraries, interaction patterns and developer documentation.

  5. Building a working prototype

    Some ideas need to be used before they can be properly evaluated. I use code and AI tools to build working prototypes so teams can test the flow and discuss what it would take to ship.

    Typical work: Interactive prototypes, React interfaces and early product experiments.

Selected Work

Different products. Different problems. A few interesting challenges along the way. Here's some of the work I've been part of, the decisions I made, and what came out of it.

PRODUCTS I DESIGN, BUILD AND SHIP

The ones I made for myself.

Problems I wanted solved, so I designed, built and shipped the solutions myself, from the first sketch to working code.

WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

A defined project,
or someone who stays involved.

  • 01

    Project-based

    For a specific product, feature or redesign.

    We agree on the scope, deliverables and milestones before starting. A good fit when you have a clear problem to solve or a release to work towards.


    ↳ Discuss a project
  • 02

    Ongoing design support

    For teams with a product that keeps moving.

    I stay involved across priorities, from new features to improvements in the live experience. We agree on a monthly commitment and how work gets planned and reviewed.


    ↳ Discuss a retainer
  • 03

    A focused review

    For when something feels difficult, but you’re not yet sure what needs changing.

    I review an agreed flow or area of the product and identify the friction, the gaps and what to address first.

HOW WE’LL WORK

You’ll know what we’re
solving and what comes next.

  1. STEP 01 · UNDERSTAND

    Understand the problem

    We look at the product, the people using it, your constraints and what you need the work to achieve.

  2. STEP 02 · SCOPE

    Agree on the scope

    We define the priorities, deliverables and review points. If something needs exploring first, we make room for that.

  3. STEP 03 · DESIGN

    Design and test

    I work through flows and interfaces with your team. Where useful, we test a prototype before committing to development.

  4. STEP 04 · DELIVER

    Build, review and refine

    I work with your developers through implementation, review the details and help resolve the states that only become obvious once the product is working.

WEBSITES AND BRANDING

Need a website rather than a product?

I also work on business websites and brand identities. If you need a new site, a clearer way to present your services, or a visual identity to build around, we can scope that as a separate project.

QUESTIONS BEFORE WE START

Good questions to ask first.

  1. Can you work with our existing team?

    Yes. I can work alongside founders, product managers and developers, whether you already have a design team or need someone to own the design work.

  2. Can you help before we have clear requirements?

    Yes. We can begin by defining the problem, mapping the main flows and deciding what needs to be designed first.

  3. Do you also handle development?

    I build working prototypes and use AI-assisted development where it helps test an idea. For production work, we’ll agree on the engineering scope and responsibilities before starting.

  4. How do you price the work?

    Once I understand the scope, I’ll propose a project fee or an ongoing arrangement. If the scope is still unclear, we can start with a smaller piece of work.

  5. What should I bring to the first call?

    Whatever you already have: an idea, a live product, a brief or a flow that isn’t working. You don’t need a finished requirements document.
