From the projects

Services

Screens, flows and the order to build them in, for an app, a bot or a game.

What's included
A map of screens and user flows, the feature list of the first version and a clear list of what can wait.
Who it's for
Fits if you have an idea and no spec yet, or a spec that has grown too big to build.
How it goes
You write with the idea. A conversation about the task follows, then a written proposal of scope. The work goes in stages, with interim reviews.
What you get
A document and mock-ups that a developer can build from, whoever that developer is.

Mira's flows, from sources to the Inbox, were designed this way. See Mira

A working product: server, Telegram bot or Mini App, web interface and launch.

What's included
Backend and database, a Telegram bot or Mini App, a web interface, deployment and handing over all accounts and keys.
Who it's for
Fits if you need a product that runs live for real users, not a prototype, and have nobody to build it.
How it goes
An email with the task, a call or chat, a written proposal of scope. Then the build in stages, with a working version shown at each one, and the launch.
What you get
A running product.

Citizen was built this way: server, Telegram bot, Mini App, payments and launch. See Citizen

Interface, colours and type, name and logo.

What's included
Interface screens, a palette and fonts, a name, a logo or mark, and short rules for using them.
Who it's for
Fits a new product that needs a face, or an older one whose look no longer matches what it does.
How it goes
An email, a conversation about the product and its audience, then a few directions to choose from and one of them worked out in detail.
What you get
Source files and a short guide a developer or another designer can follow. The usbun look and mascot were made this way.

A review of a site, app or game: what works, what breaks, what to fix first.

What's included
A walk through the product the way a new user sees it, a check of texts, screens and flows, and a written list of findings.
Who it's for
Fits if something feels off and it is unclear what, or before a launch, while there is still time to change things.
How it goes
Send a link or access and a few lines about the goal. The review comes back in writing; a call to go through it is possible on request.
What you get
A list of findings with priorities: what to fix first, what can wait, what to leave as it is.

The price is discussed once the task is described, and fixed in the written proposal before work starts.
