My Process

No flowcharts here.
Every client and every project is different, and one-size-fits-all
processes tend to fit no one particularly well.

Common Steps for Most Projects

Understanding the Initial "Why"

I help people build things, but they rarely define what problem they're solving. Once I know what and who I'm solving it for, everything gets much much easier.

Understanding Business Goals

It's not just about making things look good — every project has set goals. Whether it's profit, reach, or recognition, goals need to be clearly defined.

Iterative Designs

Using mood boards, wireframes, style guides, and design reviews, I refine the look and feel step-by-step, until the client is happy (within reason!).

Collaborative Implementation

Skipping working with the implementation team is a mistake. I want to make sure my designs are actually executable. A great design means nothing if it can't be built.

Testimonials

Not only my mom, my clients think I'm cool too!

Peshala is incredibly skilled, and is always a pleasure to work with. Because he brings a very impressive range of design and creative skills to any project he works on, he has added serious value to our business, from designing our mobile app to redesigning our website, and creating assets we can use across social media posts. You can clearly tell that his design decisions are informed by his deep understanding of user experience, brand positioning, and product design.

We've teamed up with Peshala on multiple projects, tackling UX challenges for internal and external projects together. He knows his stuff, always adds value, and works so smoothly with the team that sync issues just don't happen. He kept everything on track, delivered on time, and was always around for tweaks and support post project go live. I can't recommend Peshala enough!

Peshala has been instrumental in helping us build multiple products, both for clients and internally. Working with him is a breeze—he understands products at a PO level and helps us build agile solutions efficiently. He adapts quickly, changing the processes to help accelerate development without compromising quality. He's an invaluable asset, and there's no one else we'd rather work with.

I've known Peshala for over six years, and he's always been my go-to for design for most projects I work on. What I really value about him is that he doesn't just stop at making things look good—he takes the time to understand the business side, the goals, and the bigger picture. That's why the work he delivers actually works in the real world, not just as a set of pretty pixels.
