Hello!
I’m Mikayla, a Senior UX/UI Designer based in South Africa; focused on building clear, functional, and conversion-driven digital products. I work closely with founders, product teams, and engineers to turn complex ideas into simple, scalable user experiences.
I don’t just design screens, I design systems that help products make sense, feel intuitive, and perform better.
✅ Senior UX/UI Designer (Product)
✅ End-to-end SaaS & Digital Product Specialist
✅ UX Strategy ᐧ UI Design ᐧ Design Systems
🎯 Current Focus: SaaS Platforms • Vibe-coding • Conversion-driven Web Experiences
- WHAT I BRING TO YOUR PRODUCT AS A UX/UI DESIGNER (PRODUCT):
👩💻 UX Strategy & Product thinking:
I design with structure first: user flows, journey mapping, information architecture, and experience strategy. My focus is always on reducing friction and improving clarity across the product. I LOVE research.
👩💻 UI design for REAL products:
Clean, scalable interfaces for SaaS dashboards, mobile apps, and responsive web platforms. Built to be consistent, usable, and easy to extend as products grow.
👩💻 Figma Expertise & Design Systems:
Advanced Figma workflows including components, auto-layout, variables, and scalable design systems. As a former developer, I create structured files that make developer handoff smooth and reduce back-and-forth.
👩💻 Dev-handoff ready design
I collaborate closely with developers and provide clear specs, interaction states, and structured Figma files that translate cleanly into code.
📌 SELECTED EXPERIENCE
• SaaS Redesigns:
Improved usability of complex workflows by simplifying navigation and restructuring core user journeys.
• Mobile App UX Overhaul:
Streamlined onboarding and key flows to reduce friction and improve task completion.
• Web Conversion Improvements:
Redesigned landing pages and product flows to improve clarity and user decision-making.
• Web & Landing Pages:
Website & landing page design
Prototypes with Loveable
Design with Figma
🧠 HOW I WORK
Discovery & Research → understand goals, users, constraints & pain-points.
UX Mapping → flows, journeys, structure
Wireframes → rapid layout exploration
UI Design & Branding → clean, scalable visual system, graphics, custom icons
• If possible, this is where I would collaborate with the dev team to ensure the UI is feasible & viable.
Prototype → test and refine interactions, use external vibe coding tools if desired
Handoff → developer-ready Figma + documentation through HTML or React code documentation.
💡 WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME
I balance product thinking with strong visual design. My focus is not just making things look good, but making them work better; for users and for the business.
If you need a designer who can think, structure, and execute across the full product lifecycle, I can help.
Multi-disciplinary designer: I have worn many hats and I'm here to use them to ensure the best possible experience for my clients.
"But now Mikayla, why are your rates so low?"
- Simple, I live in a third world country when my currency is weaker than anywhere else in the world.
Now lets get talking :)

I turn Figma designs into pixel-perfect WordPress websites, fast and clean. With my own AI workflows, I build in half the time most developers take, and the quality bar never drops.
What I do best:
- Figma design to WordPress, built in Elementor or Bricks
- Pixel-perfect, fully responsive builds, tested on every screen size
- AI-generated prototypes (Lovable and similar) rebuilt as clean WordPress
- Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), custom post types, and dynamic templates
- Performance tuning for top Core Web Vitals (FlyingPress, Perfmatters, LiteSpeed)
Why I'm faster:
I have built my own AI workflows for WordPress. They take care of the repetitive work, so my time goes straight into what matters: getting your build accurate, fast, and clean. Every build still passes my own QA before it ships, so the speed never costs you quality.
How I work:
- Clean, modular builds your team can update without breaking anything
- I treat estimates as commitments, not starting points
- Proactive updates, so you always know exactly where your project stands
- Flexible hours and same-day replies, so I am never the bottleneck across your time zone
Here is what working with me looks like: you hand over your design, and you get back a clean, pixel-perfect WordPress site, fast, with nothing breaking and no chasing needed. Send me a note about your project and I will walk you through exactly how I would build it.
