My Design Process

How I run design projects remotely and designing with clarity across time zones.

I design for SaaS and product teams in async-first environments, where speed, clarity, and structured collaboration are essential. I provide project updates every 2–3 days (or faster when needed) so teams always know what’s happening — no micromanagement or daily syncs required.

My Remote Collaboration Stack

• Figma – collaborative files, structured components, and clean version control
• CleanShot – quick screen recordings to explain flows, design decisions, and updates
• Slack + Trello – async communication, task management, and feedback loops
• Heuristic Analysis – used at the start of projects to identify usability issues and guide early design decisions

How I Communicate

• I send CleanShot videos to walk through designs and rationale without needing a meeting
• I maintain organized Figma files with comments, versioning, and named iterations
• Trello boards reflect live progress, feedback status, and upcoming priorities
• I deliver concise updates every 2–3 days, or faster during active sprints and deadlines

Real-World Examples

"Created structured Figma handoff files with specs, organized layers, and embedded CleanShot recordings."

"Delivered UX/UI updates on a fast-moving project with a remote product team worldwide."

"Identified key usability blockers in an onboarding flow through heuristic analysis and redesigned the flow within 48 hours."

What You Can Expect From Me

• Fast, transparent updates and clear design direction.
• Efficient async collaboration using tools your team already uses.
• Process-focused thinking without over-documentation.
• Actionable design that balances speed, usability, and business goals.

Design Philosophy

Good design should feel invisible, but intentional.

• Simplicity that doesn’t sacrifice usability: I believe the best designs are clean and intuitive, but never at the expense of functionality. Every element must serve a clear purpose.
• Clear communication and documentation over excessive meetings: Especially in remote and async environments, well-structured documentation and transparent updates keep everyone aligned without draining time.
• Consistency through systems, not templates: I focus on building flexible design systems that empower teams to move quickly while maintaining visual and functional consistency across the product.
• Good design doesn’t need to be explained — but it helps if it is: I strive to create interfaces that feel natural to use, but I also make sure my design decisions are clearly documented to foster shared understanding.
• User empathy drives everything: Understanding real user pain points and workflows guides my design choices, ensuring solutions are relevant and impactful.
• Iterate fast, learn fast: I embrace an iterative mindset—launching early and refining based on feedback and data, especially in fast-paced SaaS environments.

Who I Work With

I partner best with early- to mid-stage SaaS companies and remote-first product teams that prioritize clear communication, rapid iteration, and thoughtful design systems. These teams value independence, asynchronous collaboration, and transparent progress updates that keep everyone aligned without constant meetings.

I am interested in opportunities where I can contribute as a contract designer, freelancer, or fractional product design lead—helping teams clarify UX challenges, accelerate delivery, and build scalable design foundations. If your team thrives on autonomy, values design as a strategic asset, and embraces fast-paced product development cycles, I’d love to connect.
