Ready to discuss your project? 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 or schedule a quick call directly from my profile. I respond immediately. Below are my services: ✅ 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗗𝗢 I cover the full UX/UI design lifecycle, from initial research and wireframing through to high-fidelity Figma prototypes and production-ready design systems. My web design work spans SaaS platforms, fintech dashboards, e-commerce, and mobile applications. Whether a client needs a complete product design overhaul or a focused UX audit, I bring the same structured, research-backed approach every time. Core UX/UI design services: product design strategy and UX architecture, complex wireframing and information hierarchy, rapid prototyping and interactive Figma components, design systems and UI libraries, user research and usability testing, heuristic analysis and CRO-focused UX audits, and creative direction including brand identity and visual language. Tools: Figma, Webflow, Sketch, Adobe XD, Illustrator, Photoshop, InVision, Axure, Hotjar, Mixpanel, Fullstory, Google Analytics, and UserTesting, Generative AI, Chat GPT, Nano banana, Claude, Gemini. ✅ 𝗞𝗘𝗬 𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦 - 250+ UX/UI design projects completed with a consistent 5-star track record across the US, Europe, and Asia. - Recent highlights: a fintech core banking platform for Omniwire, simplifying complex issuer workflows into an intuitive product design across multiple markets. - A personal finance web application for MoolaX where the UX design reduced onboarding drop-off by restructuring information hierarchy and simplifying the dashboard UI. - A full product design and web design build for Austrian Audio, turning a high-end audio brand into a conversion-optimized e-commerce experience across desktop and mobile. ✅ 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝗠𝗬 𝗨𝗫/𝗨𝗜 𝗔𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧 Most UX/UI designers are strong on research or strong on visuals. After 20 years across product design and creative direction, I bring both. Agency work trained me to design for persuasion and brand impact. Product design across 250+ projects taught me to design for clarity, retention, and real user behavior. The result is UX/UI work that looks considered, converts visitors, and gets built the way it was designed. ✅ 𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗖𝗨𝗦 The clients I work best with are product teams and founders who need a UX/UI designer operating at both strategic and execution levels. I am equally comfortable running a UX audit, building a design system from scratch in Figma, or owning the full web design process from brief to handoff. My creative direction background means I think about brand, narrative, and conversion alongside usability. Industries: fintech and banking, SaaS and B2B platforms, e-commerce, healthcare, media, and enterprise software. ✅ 𝗠𝗬 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛 Every UX/UI design engagement starts with understanding the problem before opening Figma. I run a discovery phase covering user goals, business constraints, existing UX patterns, and competitive positioning. Wireframing and UX architecture come before any visual UI design decisions. This prevents the most expensive mistake in web design: building beautiful interfaces on top of broken user flows. I work in tight feedback cycles and deliver annotated Figma files with developer handoff specs, component documentation, and interaction notes so nothing gets lost between design and engineering. ✅ 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗕𝗬 𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗔 SaaS and Fintech Product Design: Core product experiences for fintech platforms, banking dashboards, and data-heavy SaaS products where UX/UI design must make complex information readable and actionable. Every engagement starts with UX research and flow mapping in Figma before UI design begins. Web Design and E-commerce: Brand-led marketing sites, conversion-optimized landing pages, and full e-commerce UI including product pages, checkout flows, and mobile web. CRO principles and A/B testing applied wherever performance data is available. Mobile App and Responsive UX/UI: Mobile-first UX/UI for iOS and Android with gesture-based interaction design, scalable component systems, and design consistency from mobile to desktop. Creative Direction and Brand: Brand identity, visual language, logo design, and strategic positioning work that connects product design to business narrative. 🚀 SKILLS - Web Design - Figma - User Interface Design - UX & UI - User Experience Design - Mobile App Design - Generative AI (Chat GPT, Clause, Genini..) 💡 Want a free UX/UI audit before we discuss scope?

My Outlook: Every product design project begins with a jumble of vague puzzle pieces. The pieces… market analysis, competitive analysis, price points, innovation, differentiation, aesthetics, concinnity, function, ergonomics, materials, manufacturing processes, tooling, assembly, packaging, shipping, users, manufacturers, costs, and the client. A myriad of considerations assemble into a design that makes your product unique, pertinent, targeted within its market, and profitable… a tangible object of desire and promise... a crisp image that makes sense. Every product wants to be something… to be desired and to realize its potential. I strive to stimulate that desire and optimize that potential… to solve the puzzle. My clients' success ensures my own and realizing that desire and potential benefits us both. My Experience: I use my degree in industrial design as a product designer/developer covering a wide variety of products. I have 20+ years of 3D modeling and product development experience. I have the resources to do it all... from concept to point of purchase and everything in-between. My Feedback, received and given: “Steve did great work helping us detail our product for manufacturing. He took the time to really understand the project and its intricacies instead of diving head first and by the end of this job, had an intimate understanding of all the details. He is talented and was willing to research new methods to help meet our stringent product constraints. We went through several discussions and he was excellent at being responsive and keeping things on track. He produced high quality solidworks assemblies and files. Overall he went above and beyond what was expected of him. Highly recommended contractor, A+++” —robocular “Antoine is an outstanding client to work with. He's quite knowledgeable and organized with clearly established goals coupled with exceptional communication skills. This project had some challenging constraints outside typical manufacturing and product design and development norms, but we worked through these challenges while staying within the target budget for the product. This project was more than I had bargained for, but I relished the challenge and Antoine appreciated the effort I put into it, which made this job particularly satisfying. I hope to work with Robocular again in the future.” —Io-Design “Working with Steve was a pleasure, not only do I think he’s an all-around good guy, but his approach to our project was great. He was able to take our idea and bring all his experience in making it better. Our initial idea was transformed into a product that ended up being cheaper to produce and nicer, while being more practical. We were able to overcome the hurdle we encounter and find solution that made it work! Also, he often came back with a different idea of doing things that were very practical. I Highly recommend him. ” — yvesl “Yvesi came to me with the need for a design for a grain dispenser for feeding livestock. As is often the case, he showed me a design from another designer he had hired that didn't meet the product requirements. This design was too large and could not be sold at a profit due to inappropriate and impractical manufacturing processes. Through close collaboration, we came up with a design that is half the size, more aesthetically pleasing and user friendly, and is simple to assemble and install. Also, it will be sold at a projected price point that is 10% lower than the competition at a projected 90% profit margin while enjoying relatively low capital expenditures. It was a pleasure working with yvesi on this project and I'm looking forward to working with him again in the future.” —Io-Design “Io-Design was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He provided designs that were exactly what we were looking for and he took into account the manufacturing. I would recommend him to anyone. ” — Westone “As mentioned in the job description, Blake works for a company that represents the ultimate, uncompromising audio experience – revolutionary sound; unrivaled comfort and fit; with superior, innovative design in the earphone market. While they are well known among audiophiles and professionals who rely on uncompromising audio, they are less so in the consumer market. This project was part of an effort to update their earphones look, feel, and user experience to the level of their best in class earphone technology... the challenge being that their existing monitors/earbuds were to remain unchanged. Through close collaboration, we came up with a design that practices concinnity with the existing monitors, introduces innovative solutions, targets the consumer market, and enhances brand recognition. Superior design was the point of this project and together we have achieved that goal. Blake is a pleasure to work with and I'm looking forward to the next project.” —Io-Design
