Interfaces for software people trust under pressure.

About Me
I design the panel, then I wire it up myself.
I started as a self-taught front-end developer building dashboards for a logistics startup that was drowning in spreadsheets. Watching a dispatcher stop panicking because a screen finally told her the truth, fast, taught me what this work is actually for.
Since then I've spent a decade moving between design and code — sometimes leading the visual system, sometimes shipping the component library that makes it real. I work best with teams building tools other people depend on to do their jobs: ops consoles, trading interfaces, admin panels, internal platforms.
My mission is simple: reduce the distance between a person and the decision they need to make. My values follow from that.
Clarity over decoration
If it doesn't help someone act faster, it doesn't ship.
Systems, not one-offs
Every screen is a component library in disguise.
Ship, then measure
Opinions are cheap; usage data runs the roadmap.
Say the hard thing early
A blunt Tuesday beats a surprised Friday.

Testimonials
What clients say
★★★★★
"Nadia rebuilt our ops dashboard in six weeks and our support tickets about the old one basically stopped overnight. She pushed back on two of our own requirements and was right both times."
Marcus WhitfieldVP Operations, Fleetworks · USA
★★★★★
"We hired Nadia for a landing page and ended up keeping her on for the whole product redesign. Her front-end code is cleaner than most of our full-time engineers'."
Priya NairFounder, Ledgerline Systems · Singapore
★★★★★
"Clear communicator, hits deadlines, and doesn't need hand-holding on scope. The design system she left us with is still the backbone of our product two years later."
Tomás HerreraCTO, Northbeam Logistics · Spain
★★★★★

Process
How a project runs
Seven stages, always in this order, so you always know where things stand.
01
Discovery
Understand the users, constraints, and what "done" actually means.
02
Planning
Scope, timeline, and a shared source of truth for the whole project.
03
Design
Wireframes to high-fidelity, reviewed with you at each stage.
04
Development
Built in the open — you get a staging link from week one.
05
Testing
Cross-browser, accessibility, and performance passes before launch.
06
Launch
Deployed, monitored, and handed off with clean documentation.
07
Support
A two-week buffer for fixes, then an optional maintenance plan.
FAQ
Common questions
A landing page usually takes 1–2 weeks; a full site or small product runs 4–8 weeks depending on scope. I'll give you a firm date after the discovery call, not before.
Regularly. I can hand off Figma files and documentation, or work directly in your codebase and open pull requests like any other contributor.
50% deposit to start, 50% on delivery for fixed-scope work. Retainer and hourly engagements are invoiced biweekly.
Sometimes — it depends on current capacity. Mention your deadline in the contact form and I'll tell you honestly if it's realistic.
Yes — a two-week bug-fix window is included free with every project, and monthly maintenance plans start at $180/mo after that.
