Have a product idea that needs direction, or an existing product you want to improve? I can help! Hi, I’m Joseph. I’m a Senior Product and UX Designer who helps teams turn ideas into clear, useful, and thoughtfully designed products.
📦 End-to-end Product and UX Design
🏆 Top 3% of talent on Upwork
💼 8+ years designing digital products
🚀 Helped teams secure more than $500K in funding
✅ Available for new projects
I work with startups, entrepreneurs, agencies, and established organizations across SaaS, B2B, B2C, civic tech, and AI-powered products.
Clients typically bring me in to:
🧭 Define and scope a new product or MVP
⚡️ Create rapid prototypes for concepts or activations
🔎 Identify what is—and isn’t—working in an existing experience
🧩 Simplify complicated workflows, systems, and information
📱 Design intuitive, polished, responsive interfaces
🛠️ Translate product strategy into engineering-ready assets
🎨 Create a cohesive visual language or scalable design system
My designs are always intentional, with thought and consideration for: user needs, business goals, states, permissions, edge cases, content, engineering constraints, and the decisions holding the experience together. The result is a product that is easier to build and feels more intuitive and more valuable.
Depending on the engagement, I can lead:
📦 Product strategy and end-to-end product design
👥 User, stakeholder, and market research
🧭 UX audits and product recommendations
🧩 Information architecture, user flows, and prototypes
🎨 UX/UI design and design systems
🌐 Product websites and responsive web experiences
🎯 Product branding and visual direction
✅ Design QA and engineering collaboration
I can work as an embedded design partner, collaborate with an existing product team, or independently lead the design process from early discovery through launch. I communicate directly, explain the reasoning behind my decisions, and balance strong UX with what is practical for the business and engineering team.
If you need a senior designer who can bring structure to complexity, take ownership, and help you build the right product—not just a more polished one—let’s talk.
