I'm a UX/UI and Product Designer with experience designing intuitive digital products for web, mobile, and SaaS platforms. My background in psychology gives me a natural edge in understanding user behavior, I design from empathy first, data second. I'm most in my element doing deep design work: building component libraries, crafting high-fidelity interfaces, and collaborating closely with engineers to ship products that actually feel good to use. Recent work includes launching a company's first native mobile app at Asset Health, redesigning dashboards and core product flows, and taking on freelance clients end-to-end through my own studio, Adibi Design. I'm currently open to full-time UX/UI or Product Designer roles at mid-size tech companies and startups where design has a real seat at the table. 📎 Portfolio: adibidesign.work I am skilled in but not limited to: Design Thinking, UX Design, UI Design, User Research, User Interviews & Surveys, Affinity Maps, User Personas, Information Architecture, Human-Centered Design, User Flows, User Journeys, Usability Tests, Story Board, Site Maps, Wireframing, Prototyping, Mobile & Web Applications, Mockups, Responsive Design, Redesign, Style guides, HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, Adobe XD, Photoshop, Sketch, InVision, Figma, Claude, Applied Behavioral Analysis, Human-Computer Interaction

She helped us develop new and improve existing features and got things done quickly and thoughtfully. She constantly brought new creative ideas to the table." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Dariia did excellent UX & UI work. She was extremely fast and always had strong ideas for improving the app." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Dariia is a true professional. Her knowledge of design is outstanding and her work ethic is rare. She consistently goes out of her way to support her clients." As products grow, even skilled teams can find it hard to keep interfaces simple. I use my UX experience to find what makes things complicated, simplify workflows, and build solutions that help users find and use every feature easily. Clients often get in touch when their platform is hard to use, users have trouble onboarding, or the product needs a better, more scalable design system. I primarily work on SaaS platforms and complex digital products, including: • SaaS platforms • CRM and ERP systems • dashboards and analytics tools • internal business tools • AI-driven platforms • enterprise workflows These products usually have complex logic and lots of data. I focus on making them clear, efficient, and easy for users to understand.

I specialize in writing website content that sells services. Services are intangible. It's a specialized skill to describe them so that they become tangible to your ideal clients. You need to demonstrate how your services benefit your customers. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• WHAT YOU WANT ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• You want three things when you hire a copywriter to sell services: ► To get a steady stream of leads and prospects who are ideal clients for you. ► To be the preeminent provider of services such that you're positioned ahead of the competition. ► To steadily raise prices without pushback, based on delivering leading-edge value to clients. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• WHAT'S IN THE WAY ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ► You have a website that doesn't truly represent you or your business. Maybe you're even a little embarrassed to send anyone to the site. ► Your site's copywriting is too bland, and the messaging doesn't stand out from the competition. It sounds like a bunch of "blah, blah, blah". ► It's hard to explain your services so that ideal clients get excited and want to hire you. When you explain it, the confused mind (of a prospect) does not buy. ► You do all the "heavy lifting" of the sale process, instead of your website copywriting doing that job for you. ► Your site's not a lead funnel. It just sits there looking pretty (or ugly even), and not doing a lot for you. ► You have a website but no content strategy, so Google doesn'tdrive targeted traffic to the site. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• WHAT COPYWRITING WE DO AND WHO WE SERVE ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ► We write websites for consultants, trainers, executive coaches and others who sell professional services or sell programs to corporate clients. ► We "translate" jargon-heavy tech industry websites and SaaS (Software As A Service) websites into marketing language that your targeted customers understand. ► We provide pillar content and ongoing content strategy for both professional service providers and tech industry clients. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• UNIQUE FEATURES OF OUR WORK AND HOW THEY BENEFIT YOU ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ► We interview you for content in an efficient coaching-style (deep questioning) phone interview. •••Interviewing produces content that captures your voice, giving it a lively, effective tone. •••The interview process surfaces the most effective words and phrases for your messaging. ► We're developing both business and marketing strategy along with the content. •••You have a strategic partner to discuss new ideas for positioning your business. •••You end up with clear additions to your strategic plan. ► We create packages of your services that increase value to your clients. •••You upgrade deliverables, and that increases results for your clients. •••This increased value allows you to raise your prices without pushback from clients. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• SERVICES PROVIDED ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ► User-oriented tech websites ► User-oriented tech content ► User-oriented startup websites ► Website content writing, web content, website lead funnel, selling services, selling professional services, copywriting, branding, SEO writing, website copywriting, lead generation, online content, blog content writing, written blog content strategy, written website content audit ► Email marketing content, email marketing strategy, email sequences, digital marketing, inbound marketing ► Marketing strategy, marketing coach, branding coach, niche coach ► Real estate website, real estate blog, real estate email marketing ► Content strategy, content writing, pillar content, content assets, content marketing ► Landing page, sales page, about us page ► Technical writing, technical illustration, technical documentation ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ► Software, SaaS, enterprise software, technical services, technical consulting, funded startups ► Legal and law firm websites ► Coaches, consultants, executive coaches, financial planners, CPA's ► Financial services ► Software user guides, installation guides, process and procedures, best practices, operations manuals, project manager best practice manual, project plan template ► Art marketing, artist and artist business coaching ► Real estate ► Professional full-time writer since 1996 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• TOOLS USED ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ► Figma ► ClickFunnels ► Keap Infusionsoft ► Book Template Design (manuals) in MSWord and FrameMaker ► Content management systems (CMS), iHouseWeb ► Visio (intermediate), Basic PhotoShop ► Trello: onboarding system, training system ► HubSpot Inbound Marketing, HubSpot Sales ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• WHAT TO DO NEXT ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Let's have a conversation about your needs.

I build production AI systems that actually ship — not demos, not prototypes. Two examples running live right now: ApplyMongus (iOS app + FastAPI backend) — a Claude Batch API pipeline generating personalized content per user at scale, with per-tier model routing (Haiku for volume, Sonnet for quality), App Store Server API verification, encrypted credential storage, and abuse-metered usage caps. NateEatsHawaii (17,000+ monthly visitors, first-page Google rankings) — a bilingual EN/JA platform with a Claude-powered translation pipeline and a one-command publish script: automated face-blur for privacy, watermarking, image processing, sitemap generation, wired end-to-end. What I bring: — Production LLM integration: prompt engineering, batching for cost, model-tier routing by use case, spend guardrails — Full-stack: Next.js, Node.js, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Swift/SwiftUI — I ship solo, end-to-end — architecture through deployment through the metrics that prove it worked If you need an AI feature taken from idea to something real users touch — not just a proof of concept — let's talk about your project.
