Who do you usually work with?
I collaborate with early-stage founders — solo builders, student teams, or small startup crews — who are building their first MVP, testing an idea, or refining a product.
What’s your process like?
Human-centered, lean, and relentlessly focused. I help you design around your users, test what matters, and move fast without breaking your vision. Strategy and empathy, side by side.
How long does a typical project take?
Most projects are done in 2–4 weeks. MVPs might take a bit more time depending on complexity. I always give a clear scope and timeline before we begin.
I only have an idea — no product yet. Can we still work together?
Absolutely. That’s where human-centered design makes the biggest difference. I’ll help turn your insight into something real — something users can click, feel, and react to.
Can you help refine my idea or business model?
Yes. I go beyond UI — I help you shape your product’s core, test assumptions, and build something users actually need. It’s strategy, not just design.
How much do your services cost?
It depends on the project, but I keep it lean, clear, and startup-friendly. After a quick strategy chat, I’ll give you a tailored quote — no fluff, no surprises.
How do we start?
Just send a message. Tell me what you’re building, and we’ll set up a strategy call to explore the fit — fast, focused, and founder-friendly
