For the last decade, I've helped everyone from early-stage startups to large enterprise companies build products that are simple, beautiful, and easy to use.

What's a design engineer?

Design Engineer - Someone that blurs the lines between front-end development & Ui/Ux design.

But you can think of me as your interface partner, from design down to the technical aspects of building and scaling great interfaces for a multitude of products and platforms.

Here's how I've helped.

I've worked with development teams to speed up their development cycle and release products at a much faster rate.

I've helped product teams focus on what's important by giving them the standards and tools to create exceptional interfaces.

I've turned legacy systems into modern modular architecture, which increased innovation and has resulted in more revenue.

I've put the power back into store owners hands by giving them the tools they need to create unique online experiences that tell their story.

I've helped startups get to market faster by designing & building world-class MVPs in record time.

Frequently asked questions.

What makes you different from other freelancers or agencies?

I set time aside solely to your project, your project is my only focus for the time you’ve booked, I don’t take on small “jobs” or juggle tasks and clients. This way you get full-service agency-level quality for a fraction of the price. I measure the success of a project with real-world objectives and work with you to plan and execute the perfect solution.

What type of projects do you accept?

I only work on projects that make a real impact for both my client and their users.

I prefer to build a relationship by getting to know a company and the problems they're facing (I’d prefer to call them opportunities), as a result, these are generally large projects that take more than a few weeks to complete. Unless, of course, there are quick wins to be made.

What type of projects don’t you accept?

Projects that wouldn’t make business sense to my client, I’m not here to take your money and build whatever you want.

I also don’t accept projects that don’t have a serious budget set aside, I’m investing my passion, skills, knowledge and time to create something exceptional, I expect the same passion and investment.

Which timezone do you work in?

Any country within ±3 hours of Central European Summer Time (CEST).

I'm based in South Africa and mainly work with local & european companies.

How much does it cost?

I prefer working on projects that make an impact, to achieve this, I need to spend time understanding your business and problems you're facing better to figure out the perfect solution.

Projects usually start at R50k ZAR (£2.6k/€3k) but can quickly grow depending on the size, nature and complexity of the project.

Not satisfied with that answer? Send a request and I’ll send you a ballpark estimate with the initial information you’ve given me.

Do you offer backend development too?

Short answer, yes*

*Long answer, I have experience in serverless and usually, it’s enough for small projects, if it’s not and I feel it requires a specialist, I work with a collaborator from my carefully selected list of freelance partners or preferably, your in-house team.

Which design services do you offer?

I focus on Ui/Ux, this means I design application interfaces, design systems, websites etc.

I do not offer illustration, branding, logo etc design services, however, if any of these services are required, I work with a collaborator from my carefully selected list of freelance partners.

I want to work with you! What’s next?

That’s great news! Send a request and I’ll send you a ballpark estimate, if you’re happy with the figure and would like to continue, I’ll send an email requesting more information or schedule a call/meeting to understand the project better. Once I have all the information I need I’ll send a detailed proposal that includes the solution, final time & cost estimate, project objectives as well as a roadmap and any other information you’ll need.
