Design slowing your team down?

I'm Nadya. I help growing SaaS companies fix design bottlenecks with a done-with-you design system that ships in weeks and doesn't cost like a full-time design lead.

No problem

Your designer’s still on that one screen. You’re wondering what’s taking so long.
😦
Suspicious, right?

Developers rebuild new components again and again.
😦
That's bad

Redesigns look great but are impossible to maintain 6 months later.
☹️
That's a problem
check-icon
Product updates drag for months because design and development aren’t in sync.

Looks like a problem

By the time you customize an off-the-shelf system, you could’ve built one yourself.
😰
Definitely a problem

There’s a design system in Figma, left unfinished because no one uses it

A problem, isn't it?

My solution → Design System Sprint

A 4 week collaboration where we create a design system that fits your product and your team’s workflow.

Step 1:

I audit your system and build a roadmap

I start with a short discovery sprint to understand how your design and development teams work.

You’ll get:
  • A full audit of your current design files and component structure
  • A gap analysis between design and development
  • A custom roadmap outlining priorities, phases, and impact areas

Step 2:

We implement a scalable design system together

I work directly with your developers and designers to build a scalable design system and ensure adoption from day one.

You’ll get:
  • A working design system in Figma (tokens, components, styles, documentation)
  • A naming and versioning structure ready for ongoing updates
  • A team onboarding session so everyone knows how to use it

Step 3:

Your team gets a maintenance playbook

Once the system is in place, I create a process so your team can keep it alive and evolving.

You’ll get:
  • A maintenance playbook with update cadence and ownership model
  • Guidelines for scaling to new features or products
  • A final team session to review, refine, and hand over everything

What happens when you have a proper design system

Teams ship faster. Developers stop fighting with designers. And your product finally scales smoothly and without chaos.

⛤ Faster design-to-development

Designs move to production with fewer handoffs and less back-and-forth.

⛤ Less rework and tech debt

Standards mean fewer inconsistencies, cleaner code, and less time fixing old work.

⛤ No more confrontation

Everyone builds from the same playbook, which eliminates conflict. Morale goes up.

⛤ Team focused on the product

Your team spends less time maintaining Figma libraries and more time improving what users actually see.

⛤ Built-in accessibility

Inclusive design is baked in from the start. Your product is accessible by default.

⛤ Users don't notice changes

You evolve the product without breaking it and causing user churn.

⛤ Simple theming and scaling

From day one, the system supports variations, brands, and future growth.

⛤ Changes easy to support

New features move easily into the system with no reinvention or slowdown.

⛤ Pays for itself within a quarter

Saved hours turn into faster releases, happier customers, and bigger revenue.

Let’s make design work for your team

Previously, I worked as a lead UI/UX designer at these companies

Since 2012, I’ve worked as a senior and lead designer in several companies. I’ve discovered that I love creating user experiences. But even more, I love the unseen work behind them. The janitor kind of work that makes everything else possible. Design system is where I thrive.

Other ways to work together

If a design system isn’t the right move just yet, here are other ways we can collaborate based on your stage and goals.

Off-the-shelf design system customization

Already using Material UI, Ant Design, or Chakra UI? I’ll adapt an existing system to your product’s needs.

FAQs

Who should be involved?
plus-open-accordeon-iconminus-open-accordeon-icon

Usually, I work directly with your designer (if you have one), lead developer, and product owner or CEO. The goal is to align design and development early, so everyone who touches the product is part of building and maintaining the system.

What does it cost?
plus-open-accordeon-iconminus-open-accordeon-icon

Projects start at $3,000 for a full design system setup and scale based on scope. Smaller engagements, like audits or consultations, start from $150–$500 per hour.

What do we actually get as a result?
plus-open-accordeon-iconminus-open-accordeon-icon

A working design system in Figma, documentation, and a process your team can maintain.By the end, you’ll have a system that improves developer speed, keeps your UI consistent, and supports new features easily.

How long does the process take?
plus-open-accordeon-iconminus-open-accordeon-icon

Most projects take 3–5 weeks from audit to implementation. You’ll start seeing improvements in your workflow almost immediately.

Will you redesign our product?
plus-open-accordeon-iconminus-open-accordeon-icon

My focus is on building a system around your existing design so your team can scale faster.If a redesign is needed, we’ll make it system-based from the start.

Can you help our team learn how to maintain the system?
plus-open-accordeon-iconminus-open-accordeon-icon

Yes. Every engagement includes a maintenance playbook and a training session for your designers and developers. You’ll leave with the tools and knowledge to keep your system healthy.
