Senior Product Designer | UX UI Designer | Freelance

Most designers don’t get deep-tech.
They make things pretty.
But in the start-up world pretty isn’t enough.

The problem:
- Design clashes with engineering.
- Interfaces look great but don’t scale.
- Dev teams stuck fixing design issues.

Startups can’t afford that.

SaaS Products need to grow, gain traction.
Designing efficiently is a must. 

What’s different about me?
• Deep-tech and UX/UI expertise
• 15+ years of real-world product design.
• A practical engineering background to ensure designs are functional, not just aesthetic.
• An approach that bridges design, engineering, and business strategy.

This is about more than visuals.
It’s about creating experiences that scale.

I partner with startups to propel them forward.

I used to spend hours making illustrations from scratch.

Or wasting time scrolling through stock libraries that never quite matched the brand style.

Now I do something way faster.

I open jspaint.com. I sketch a stick figure holding a tablet. Doesn’t need to be pretty—just enough to explain the idea.

Then I drop that sketch into Google Gemini with a prompt:
"Make a minimal vector illustration from this sketch. It’s a guy holding a tablet up in his right hand, and pointing at it with his left hand."

It gives me something clean. Usable. And honestly, 80 percent there.

I bring it into Figma. Tweak the lines. Adjust the weight. Add it to the design.

Now it looks like it took hours, but it didn’t.

Here’s where I use these AI-powered illustrations most:
– Onboarding screens
– Sales and contact modals
– Help articles
– Feature callouts
– Landing page visuals
– Product updates

The trick isn’t doing less design.
It’s starting with better shortcuts.

I still make things from scratch when it matters.
But for fast, repeatable SaaS UI work, this saves me daily.

Is your SaaS start-up stagnating with user onboarding, acquisition, activation and monetization?

Your new users:

— Seem overwhelmed
— Do not return to the app
— Leave you app right away
— Don’t pay for subscriptions 
 
You have tried everything: 
SEO, Copywriting, Affiliate marketing, Tech bloggers…

Wouldn’t it be great to know:

1. Your products’ value is delivered to your new users from the get go? 
2. They are being toured around your product? 
3. They feel comfortable and familiar with your product right away?

You want to:

✓ Keep them engaged 
✓ Make them want more
✓ Convince them to invest in a subscription

Yes, it is possible!

I have achieved these outcomes for my clients. 

How?

A combination of UX, UI, CX, data driven decision making, and Copywriting. 

I will analyze your start-ups’ situation, develop an onboarding, activation, and monetization strategy, and direct you in the right way to implement them. 

As a Product Design Expert & Consultant, I have over 12 years of experience in designing and delivering user-friendly web and mobile products for various tech companies. 

My mission is to help clients solve complex problems and achieve their goals through design-first thinking, research, prototyping, and testing.

I specialize in UX/UI design, design strategy, design systems, and Agile methodology, with a focus on data-driven domains such as big data, data visualization, IoT, deep analytics, video publishing, and cyber security. I have created and improved multiple SaaS products for both B2B and B2C markets, increasing traffic, conversions, retention, and user satisfaction. I also have experience in developing design language, brand identity, and interactive advertising.

I help startups with design • UX/UI • Product Design • Marketing Design

Most founders don’t need a Figma designer.
They need someone to think visually with them.

✓ They need to raise funds, fast
✓ They need to move, not meditate
✓ They need to test an idea, not polish it
✓ They need one designer, not a design team
✓ They need user feedback, not pixel perfection

I build prototypes.
Fast.
Clickable.
Based on real user flows.

I design with startup needs in mind.

You get:
→ Real app screens
→ Clear path to MVP
→ Clickable prototype
→ Customer journey map
→ Feedback-ready design
→ Easy to show investors

Don’t hire a Figma artist.
Hire a design partner who gets startup life.

I'm Mark. I work with founders.
Let's build what matters.

Most PMs don’t need an artistic Product Designer.
So why I go to modern art exhibitions?

Not for beauty.
For structure.
For communication without words.

Artists think in tension.
They build with negative space.
They suggest, not explain.
And that’s exactly what great design does.

I go to see:

→ Minimalist forms
→ Frictionless flows
→ Shapes that hint at structure
→ Interaction without instruction
→ Kinetic sculptures moving with logic

When I design a product, I borrow these tools.
Not the art - the thinking behind it.

I’m not looking for inspiration.
I’m looking for mechanics.

Because great design feels obvious - even when it’s not.

PMs need someone who can think in systems.
Someone who sees patterns before they exist.

That’s the magic modern art teaches me.
And that’s the edge I bring to your product.
