Building digital products & exploring technology

The Journey

It all began at 14 when I stumbled onto a "signatures" design board on a parkour forum - thanks to a friend of mine. I couldn't sleep first night after discovering Photoshop filters and dove headfirst into experimenting. From web design and 3D matte painting to animation and interaction design, one skill led to another. I slowly built a solid portfolio, landed clients, and helped shape multiple products from the ground up.

Freelance

I've always enjoyed the freedom of freelancing, the variety of projects, the chance to influence outcomes, and the thrill of each new challenge. Since early days of my career, I loved bringing clients' dream products to life, having fun every step of the way. Nothing beats the rush of creative control.

Studio Co-founder

While working at startup 66Audio, a few coworkers and I launched our own design studio, Maise. We expanded my client list and tackled bigger visions together. We thrived in fintech and crypto, guiding startups from discovery to launch. It was one of the best times of my life—lifelong friendships formed that I hope endure.

Now

♾️ And Beyond

I thrive on exploring new tools wether it's , motion, 3D, WebGL, AI - you name it. I'm usually out there palying around with new tools, spending free time testing betas and giving feedback to devs on Twitter/X to help refine features and sharing my work. Beyond the nerdy workaholism, I'm hooked on handheld consoles and cherish lazy couch gaming sessions whenever possible or spending time outside with my wonderful family.

What I handle

I move fluidly between disciplines—no handoffs between specialists, just one designer who connects the dots end to end. I see every project as a real partnership. I'm not just delivering a Figma file and moving on—I'll dive into your business, grasp your key challenges, and help drive real results. We iterate quickly, prioritize MVPs when needed, and focus on what delivers impact.

Let's Build Together

I see every project as a real partnership. I'm not just delivering a Figma file and moving on—I'll dive into your business, grasp your key challenges, and help drive real results. We iterate quickly, prioritize MVPs when needed, and focus on what delivers impact.

How we can work together

Monthly Retainer Perfect for vision-to-product design or ongoing foundational work where we need to move fast. You get an embedded design partner shaping the vision, defining requirements, and designing final flows in tight loops with your engineering team. Comparable to 0.5 FTE with some reasonable flexibility.

Weekly Sprint Great for tightly scoped work—crafting a high-conversion website, building a pitch deck, preparing new visuals for social media, or dropping in to solve a specific product UI/UX challenge. We align on a straightforward quote upfront and dive straight into the work.

Hour by Hour When needed I can jump in for smaller bits and pieces of work and charge by the hour. Not my preferred workflow, but it fits smaller chunks and more ad-hoc assignments when a quick design assist is all you need.
