DESIGNER & DEVELOPER
A work relationship that is tailored to meet your business' unique needs. From per-day hiring to fixed projects, I offer as much dedication as you need. These four effective partnership models are designed to incorporate flexibility in services and our partnership, providing you with variety of frameworks that you can choose to meet with your business needs and budget.
In this model, I will be providing a dedicated resource that will work closely with your internal team for 8 hours daily in a month. This model is for businesses that need a dedicated employee for multiple tasks.
I will be dedicated to working closely with your internal team for 40 hours/per week. This model is best for businesses that need a dedicated employee for multiple design tasks or new businesses in the design phase.
Basically, this is for businesses that want to outsource a small project with me. In this model, I am available to work with you on an hourly basis as per your need and project timeline.
If all your business needs a few days of professional touch to meet your end goal, that’s doable! So much is achievable in a working day, let’s make it work!
Your short-term or long-term design projects don’t have to eat at your budget, you can choose the fixed price model, to work within your budget, and time estimates.
Buying into a company feel good alright, having long-term visions for the company, and significant contribution to the decision-making process. It is essential for me that we have common goals, the product is viable in the market and there is a long-term prospect for the product and consequently the company.
I work hand in hand with project and product owners to collaboratively achieve set goals. Whether it is working with a global team or a small team of individuals, it allows increase in productivity and more awareness of each other’s perspectives, needs, and timelines. I believe collaboration has brought my career this far.
Volunteering is an integral part of personal growth and professional development. I can only offer this service to non-profit organizations when I am in between projects. I reserve the right to choose projects that are worth pursuing for me.
Mostly, I use the agile method in my operations, because it is an incremental approach which is very iterative and easily adaptable to new projects, breaking and grouping big tasks into subtasks that will be performed in Sprints. This method supports delivering outputs in smaller chunks, dividing functionalities in small increments, delivered independently so that it can be easily worked on. The Agile design process is transparent, encourages prompt feedback, swift pivoting in response to new information, avoids going down the dreaded rabbit holes during product design. As a result of using this method, I and my clients enjoy interactive collaborations, easily figuring out their requirements, quick feedbacks, and making the needed changes based on the feedback within recorded time.
1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
2. Good Product over comprehensive documentation
3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
4. Responding to change over following a rigid plan

A prototype of the early versions of product in an iterative process is created, demonstrating the basic idea of how the application will look and work. This “hands-on” design is provided for client to review, using feedback to reiteratively improve the designs created.

Once the design is complete, it is deployed to the testing environment, testing the functionality of the entire system. This is done to verify that the entire application works according to the customer requirement, business need, user usability and experience.
Design thinking is a non-linear, iterative process that I use to understand users, challenge assumptions, redefine problems and create innovative solutions to prototype and test, it is most useful to tackle problems that are ill-defined or unknown because I can reframe these in human-centric ways and focus on what’s most important for users. Of all design processes, design thinking is almost certainly the best for “thinking outside the box”. With it, I can do better UX research, prototyping and usability testing to uncover new ways to meet users’ needs. With design thinking, I have the freedom to generate ground-breaking solutions. Using it, I can get behind hard-to-access insights and apply a collection of hands-on methods to help find innovative answers. The overall goal is to identify alternative strategies and solutions that are not instantly apparent with your initial level of understanding.
To me, Design Thinking is a non-linear process which helps me to better understand users, challenge assumptions, reimagine problems, and create innovative solutions, to prototype and test. Design thinking helps to tackle not clearly defined and unknown problems, because by following the iterative design thinking process, I can reimagine problems in another light, with focus on humans, to determine what is the most essential functions that the users want to see. Design thinking gives room for that out of the box thinking, following through on a better UX research, refined prototyping and usability testing to discover innovative ways of meeting users' needs.
The freedom to build ground-breaking solutions, get hard-to-find insights, apply a bunch of different hands-on methods to develop innovative and lasting answers is all part of the process. Design thinking gives me the opportunity to get alternative solution and strategies which are not readily available at first glance, transcending the initial level of understanding.
A design from the client’s perspective, collecting requirements and specifications side by side as per business needs while developing new information systems for a company in a collaborative session which fosters faster progress, accelerate design and also enhance quality.
Gathering information about your product's purpose, development directions, and which solutions are best to create customer delights. Surveys are conducted and research data about your products, users, brands, and competitive analysis are collectively documented.
A high-level plan that defines the unique value proposition of the product and how it plans to do so, answering key questions such as who the product will serve (personas & empathy), how it will benefit those personas and the company’s goals for the product throughout its life cycle.
With a high level of organizational sense, the creation of the initial user experience and product offering, from pre-ideation in refining the customer experience and ensuring supplemental functionality and capabilities get added in a seamless, discoverable, and non-disruptive manner.
The creation of a physical and emotional dialogue between users and the product manifested in an interplay between form, function, and technology. Defining the structure and behavior of the system interface to the users, ensuring synergy between the brand and the product.
I take evaluation approaches to determine whether testers can complete tasks successfully and independently, find out how satisfied participants are with your product, identify problems and their severity, and analyze the performance to see if it meets the usability objectives.

As a business owner, there comes a time when you are faced with the decision of how to scale your business. Whether it is to build new software or launch an MVP to test the market, you would need to choose between high-quality service for a high price or poor-quality service for a low price. While it is not impossible, it is common to find the perfect service for you at a fair cost. That is the gap I look forward to bridging by working with you. Perfect service for the perfect cost!
Each design is unique, and the number of screens, roles, and different features influences the cost of UI/UX design services. As the complexity of the design, in terms of the functionalities such as e-commerce functions, membership portals, third-party integrations, and so on increases so does the cost of the UI/UX design service.
For a UI/UX design to have a solid background and maximized goals, there has to be a thorough research and accurate analysis of the research. To make well informed and market worthy design, requires one or more research methods, 20 to 30 hours of research,. The aim is to give clear answers to all research questions and expectations so as to determine how to make your design goals achievable.
When a design meets the purpose of creating the product in the first place, it creates sustainable client satisfaction. A functionally commanding product design, meeting the end goal and more is an important influencing factor of product design. As a designer, I ensure that I maintain coordination between the product appearance and the ways it should work, giving customers complete satisfaction.
Your product users would love your product more if they can seamlessly move through the different pages of your site. Stressful navigation will make users run to alternatives, they need to be able to find what they want quickly. Since the end-users are the ones who leverage the product, so it’s my duty as a designer's duty to get the requirements from the client before formulating the prototype and conceptualizing the idealogy.
Individuals use their mobile devices more often due to the ease of access than any other devices, even though they use desktops and laptops as well for information, access to products and services. They should have a smooth transition through the different devices while the interface still maintains its attractive interface without much ado.
To build a fully functional and successful website requires a rockstar team. It is not enough to have a simple kickoff meeting to discuss the project and then jump into work. As an experienced designer, I know that involves a well laid out process of goal setting, creating personas, strategies, designs, testings, including meetings for brainstorming, feedback and revisions at each stage.
How far do you want to go to achieve your business goals? Are you in for well-tailored marketing copies, intriguing titles, inner texts, and banners that push app/website visitors to take action? Knowing the difference between entertaining or engaging written content and microcopies that are crafted for the purpose of conversion will give you the money well-spent results.
Designing an app, depending on the complexity, designer, and project timeline would burn up to 80-200 hours of visual designing. A well-curated visual design stage would result in a hassle-free prototype stage, where we hash out the usability testing, and accuracy of the different screen sizes to deliver an app that looks and feels just right!
Beautiful designs are a significant part of market strategy, they don’t just showcase your brand style but also ensure your app users are coming back for more. In the same vein, making your app accessible to a targeted set of consumers may influence your app design and accessibility level based on the popularity in a particular location. Yet it should be inclusive of everyone no matter their challenges.
