UI/UX Design
Build a well-tested, frictionless user experience, with coherent visual interface design.
Product Strategy
Clarify your product's purpose, revenue model, and KPIs and value-proposition.
Design System
Create a custom design system to show a polished and coherent brand to your users, and reusable components for your developers.
User Interviews / Testing
Where analytics won't do the job, I lead teams to perform user research through user interviews, user testing, and surveys.
Conversion Rate Optimization
Most growing products tend to leak a lot of leaked revenue in their conversion flow. Through experience, analytics and A/B testing, let's recapture that revenue.
