More than UX/UI design

Wizard Cat Design isn’t just UX design - I also have hands-on development experience as a project manager managing a dev team. This unique combination allows me to bridge the gap between design, development, and business needs. I understand what developers need and their process. This ensures that every design is not only user-friendly but also feasible and I can prepare you for the development phase for a smooth transition.
