Daring design to match your daring ideas

For disruptive founders

If you’re a trailblazing entrepreneur with a wild idea, you’re gonna want to hear this. 

Dreaming of having a designer join your team, know your company inside and out, and bring your product to life? With my design subscription service, you get to have it all! A revolutionary new way to work with a designer, a subscription gets me embedded in your team for as long as you need me. It’s simple, accessible, super flexible, and created for founders just like you.

An innovative new service offering, a design subscription gives you all the perks of having an embedded designer on your team – without the costs and commitment.

Creating a groundbreaking digital product doesn’t have to mean hiring a full-time designer! When you work with me as part of a design subscription, I’ll embed into your team just like an in-house designer. You get the skill and expertise you need on a simple monthly plan – no tracking hours, no extra fees, no project scopes. Just start your subscription when you’re ready for me to work on your project, and cancel it when you need it. Many of my clients find it invaluable to have a design expert at their fingertips and keep their subscription for ongoing design work, such as their website or social media. I can even support you through the hiring process when you’re ready to expand your design team!

How does a subscription work?

  • Ready to go? Amazing! To start things off, you’ll need to fill out my enquiry form, which gives me all the key information I need before we meet up. After reading through your application, I’ll send through instructions to book your discovery call. On the call, we’ll get to know each other and see if we’re the perfect match! I’ll share my story and how I can help with your project, and I’ll ask you some questions about your company and your design needs. This is a great time to ask me any questions you might have, too! If we’re a great fit, I’ll send through a proposal, contract and downpayment after the call. Once signed and paid, you’re officially in - exciting!

  • After you’ve secured your spot, we’ll choose a date for our kick-off call (which is when the fun really starts)! Beforehand, I’ll send you an onboarding form. This space is where you’ll need to fill in all the nitty-gritty details about your company (like your competitors, target demographic, business vision - all that jazz) which helps me get on the same page before we start. Once we jump on our kick-of call, we’ll go over this information together and build out your roadmap. I’ll include time to workshop your user personas with you, which is important as it helps us get into the mind of your people and make the right design decisions. I’ll also conduct a UX/UI audit of your current product (if you have one)! If you have any other urgent design needs, we’ll add these to your roadmap too.

  • Now that we’ve laid down the foundations to support our design work, we can get started on the deliverables! I work closely with CEOs and founders to make sure we’re tackling the right tasks at the right time. As part of my work, I chat with users, conduct usability tests, send out surveys, and gather data to guide our design decisions moving forward.

Here’s how I design scroll-worthy digital products your users will love.

To me, UX and UI design is the perfect blend of art and science. It needs to look good - but it also needs to function seamlessly. I take a user-centered approach to my work, which means every single design decision is linked back to actual user problem areas. During the design process, I chat with users, do interviews and surveys, conduct usability tests, and look at data to figure out the best next steps. This way, we know we’re working towards the right solution, rather than adding unnecessary complex functionality  (no throwing spaghetti at the wall over here!).
