Awesome multi-faceted designer! I have worked with him extensively particularly on web app UI design and couldn't recommend him more.

Jameson Pitts

Co-Founder @ Lynx

David is such an experienced designer. He helped us redefine our brand image and evoke our core values through our UI.

Joel Aaron

Co-Founder @ Refundid

David redesigned our web app from the ground up. He does great work, is thorough, quick when needed, receptive to feedback, and mostly importantly super easy to work with. He's a master at taking user stories and converting them to refined designs. David is also useful to bounce ideas off of and go into the weeds to snuff out inconsistencies in product requirements. At implementation time as changes inevitably need to be made, David has been flexible to adapt and dynamically reorder priorities to put out a product on time.

why retainers

Having an A++ design can be tricky. As a startup, you have two options:

agency

(expensive, slow turnaround, hidden fees)

freelancer

(unreliable, often juggling multiple projects)

I offer a hybrid model that combines an employee (monthly cost), a freelancer (soloist) and agency (100% custom designs).

For a flat monthly fee (with no hidden costs) you will work with a senior designer who has over 5 years of experience with SaaS & FinTech products.

Choose between two packages - with or without meetings. The choice is yours.

You can assign as many tasks to me as you wish. I will complete them one after another. It’s that simple.

I will revise each design until you are 100% satisfied with the outcome.

No need to worry about handling multiple projects. My maximum capacity is five customers.

You can pause or cancel the retainer at any time. This gives you all the freedom you've ever wanted when working with unreliable creatives.

You can be assured of receiving the best possible experience, both in terms of design and communication.

Don't waste your precious startup time.

Move fast.

FAQ

What's the difference between the Sync package and the Async package?

The Sync package includes the designer (me) as an active member of your team. I will join your team's meetings (stand-ups, huddles, syncs, emergency calls) and your preferred communication channel. Ideal for anyone who wants to move fast.

They Async package reduces communication. You will join a Slack channel that will be created specifically for you. Ideal for anyone who doesn't need an active designer.

Startups usually choose the Sync package for the first month and then downgrade.

What does one active task at a time mean?

Designer will only work on one project for you at a time. This ensures that Humbl Design can give full attention and resources to this task, and deliver high-quality work in a timely manner.

Once the designer completed the current task, he will send you the design for approval.

In the meantime, he will start working on the next design, until you provide some feedback on the previous one.

Isn't this quite expensive?

Humbl Design usually covers several positions: Product Designer, Ux Designer, Website Designer, Website Developer (Webflow), Social Media Graphic Designer.

No worries. With this type of engagement, you have unlimited revisions. So the designer will keep iterating until you are 100% satisfied.
