UI/UX Design · Mockups · Prototyping

See your product before you build it

The most expensive mistakes in software happen before the first line of code — building the wrong thing. Wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and clickable prototypes let you test the idea, show investors, and brief developers with zero ambiguity.

Design is included in every build package, from €1,200. Standalone design engagements — wireframes, mockups, a clickable prototype — are quoted per project with a fixed price within 48 hours. See the packages.

What you get

A design engagement does not produce pictures, it produces a decision document. You see every screen, every state and every step of the flow before anyone starts coding — at the point where a change still costs an hour instead of a week.

Why a developer-designer is different

Plenty of designers make beautiful screens that are painful or impossible to build as designed. Because I also write production code, every screen I design is buildable, performant, and honest about edge cases — loading states, errors, empty lists, long names, small phones. You won't discover in month three that the design needs to be redone.

Perfect for

The common thread: a decision has to be made about something that does not exist yet, and a written description is too vague to decide on.

Practical matters, wherever you are

Hiring a designer in another country raises fair questions. Here are the answers before you have to ask.

What it costs

Design is included in every build package. If you want the design on its own, it is priced per project: describe the screens you have in mind and you have a fixed price within 48 hours. Your first message gets a reply within 24 hours.

What you can judge me on

The proof is not a portfolio piece. Celina (celinaeda.ru) is a two-sided marketplace I founded, built and still run myself: orders, real-time tracking, KYC identity verification, 100+ prerendered pages indexed by Google and Yandex, and Docker with nginx on a VPS with automated deploys.

Purchases is the second one: a Java 17 and Spring Boot platform with token authentication and per-role access control, public on GitHub, so you can read the code before you hire me. Both systems are mine end to end — design, database, frontend, servers and deploys — and both are still running.

Frequently asked questions

Can I hire you for design only, without the build?
Yes — design-only is a normal engagement, and nothing obliges you to have me build it afterwards. You get the wireframes, mockups and clickable prototype; you do not get code, hosting or written content, because those belong to the build phase. Describe the screens you have in mind and you'll have a fixed quote within 48 hours.
What files do I receive, and could another developer build from them?
You receive the editable design source files, exported assets, and a spec covering spacing, type, colors and every component state — all of it yours to keep. That package is deliberately complete enough for a competent frontend developer to build from without ever contacting me. A design only its author can implement is lock-in, not a deliverable.
How many rounds of revisions are included?
The number of rounds is fixed in your quote before work starts, so it never becomes an argument halfway through. Most changes naturally land at the wireframe stage, which is exactly where you want them: reshaping a wireframe takes an hour; reshaping a screen that has already been built takes days. Anything beyond the agreed rounds is quoted separately.
How does design cost relate to the cost of building the product?
Design costs meaningfully less than the build, because drawing a screen is far less work than making it function. It is also a natural stopping point: approve the mockups, then decide whether to build now, later, or with a different team. Either way the price is fixed up front rather than metered by the hour.
What language do we work in, and can the screens be in my customers' language?
We work in English — it is the language I write, document and meet in. The interface itself is delivered in whatever language your customers actually use, including button labels, error messages and form fields. Running a product in more than one language is routine here: Celina ships bilingual pages and this site runs in three.
How do you invoice?
An itemized invoice in euros, with every line spelled out. The amount on it is the amount that was in the quote — design is priced per project, never metered by the hour.
