Transform your business with a little ux wizardry

Have an app idea? I'll design a seamless, user-focused experience from start to finish!

More than UX/UI design

Wizard Cat Design also has hands-on development experience as a project manager on a software development team seeing projects through from concept to launch.

Don’t put a hex on your business with bad design! My unique UX/UI and product management experience allows me to bridge the gap between design, development, and business needs. I know how to communicate to developers and how to guide clients through the entire design and development phase to success. This ensures that every design is not only user-friendly but also feasible, professional-looking, and prepares you for a smooth development hand-off.
