I highly recommend Olha for her exceptional design abilities and product creation thinking. While working at Stuffistry, Olha collaborated on the design of a consumer-facing app in the exotic car mobility space, where she demonstrated an outstanding ability to conceptualize, develop and execute designs that were not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional.

Olha worked with us as a designer for our app and web product. She started like a tornado into the company. Took over responsibility really quick and helped to identify the weaknesses in all of our products.

How It Works

01
Discovery call
A free 30-minute call to understand your goals, timeline, and constraints. I'll tell you honestly which service fits and if none do, I'll say so.
02
Proposal & scope
You receive a written proposal within 48 hours: exact deliverables, timeline, pricing, and any dependencies on your side. No ambiguity.
03
Contract & kickoff
A straightforward service agreement. 50% to start, 50% on delivery (or retainer billed monthly). We kick off with a kickoff call to align on access, comms, and milestones.
04
Delivery & handoff
You receive all files, documentation, and a walkthrough. I stay available for one week post-delivery to answer follow-up questions at no additional charge.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from hiring a full-time designer?

A full-time hire takes 2–3 months to recruit, onboard, and ramp up — and comes with salary, benefits, and long-term overhead. I come in ready to work from week one, with senior-level experience your team gets immediately and only for as long as you need it. You get the output of a seasoned design leader without the institutional commitment.

Can you work with a team that already has designers?

Yes — and this is often where the engagement has the most impact. I work alongside your existing team, not instead of them. I can audit what's already been built, establish direction and standards, mentor junior designers, and handle the strategic layer so your team can focus on execution.

What does a typical engagement look like from start to finish?

It starts with a free 30-minute discovery call to understand your situation. If there's a fit, I put together a written proposal with scope, timeline, and deliverables within 48 hours. Once we agree, kickoff happens within 1–2 weeks. Every engagement ends with a full handoff — documentation, design files, and recommendations so your team can continue independently.

Do you work with early-stage startups or only enterprise companies?

Both — but differently. For early-stage companies the focus is usually on moving fast: establishing product direction, shipping the first version, and building a design foundation that scales. For enterprise teams it's typically about fixing systemic UX problems, aligning cross-functional stakeholders, and measuring design impact on business metrics. The approach adjusts to where you are.

How do you handle NDAs and confidential work?

Every engagement includes a mutual NDA as standard — not on request. Your product details, roadmap, and internal data stay confidential. Case studies and portfolio work are only published with your explicit written approval, and I'm comfortable working under stricter confidentiality requirements if your legal team requires it.
