Helping SaaS and startups design & build digital products built for growth using UX + AI ⚡️

LinkedIn recently invited me to their London office.

Here's what I learnt in one day 👇

Nothing.

Because it didn't happen!

Everyone is showing their highlight reel – it's becoming a place of utter BS.

Be honest about the hard bits.

I want to read about the real struggles of business and what you learnt.

Not:

'Download this Notion lead magnet'
'I built a SaaS in two hours, now it's $25k MRR'
'Look how many booked calls I have, want this too?'

Honestly, LinkedIn, you are tiring! 😔

I can't be the only one who feels like this?!

#authenticity #agencylife #saas #honesty

Love this one from the team 👌 ✨

We redesigned and built the app to make building access, permissions, and day-to-day interactions feel simple, secure, and obvious.

Clearer states. Better hierarchy. Less confusion around who can access what — and when.

– Tenant portal
– Access door control
– Payments system
– React Native build
– Bespoke illustrations
– Custom Lottie animations

I knew two co-founders who used their life's savings.

They later raised $15M+.

3 years later, they were listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Then sold their clients to AJ Bell and exited.

They risked it all.

Today, I'm seeing loads of people build SaaS platforms and mobile apps at lightning speed.

But here's what's blindsiding them (they just don't know it yet!).

Because it's fast and affordable, there's ZERO commitment to the idea.

Doesn't work? Start again.
Clunky UX? Keep prompting AI.
Terrible UI? Copy and paste references.
No one wants it? Move on, build something else.

I'm seeing the same patterns.

The problem isn't the tools.

👉 The problem is your approach.

You're building 'things' instead of solutions that solve BIG problems.

Problems people will actually pay you for.

You're skipping validation in favour of prompting.

And you're wasting your time and money going round in circles.

Speed feels productive.

But without proper validation, you're just creating noise.

Focus on solving real problems first.

Then build.

Who's guilty of this?

Tell me I'm wrong 😜

FYI, we offer Rapid Validation for startup ideas – A 2-week sprint to help you gain clarity, build confidence and get conviction in your idea, before building.

I made A LOT of mistakes during my early career as a designer.

The worst mistake?

Using fake tan!

Jk, that's just my natural Mediterranean glow 😂

Joke aside. It's not understanding business.

And where design impacts the most.

I thought great design alone would win.

It doesn't.

- Beautiful UI means nothing if it doesn't drive revenue
- Stakeholders care about ROI, not your Dribbble shots
- Design without strategy is just decoration

The turning point?

When I started asking business questions:

– What's the cost of this problem?
– How does this impact conversion?
– Will this move the needle on retention?

That's when I had my own 'aha' moment.

Suddenly, everything clicked.

Now I approach every project differently:

– Speak the language of metrics
– Understand the business model first
– Align design decisions with revenue goals

You're not hired to make things pretty.

You're hired to solve business problems through design.

Who else learned this the hard way?

Building a SaaS today is piss easy 💀

The real challenge is what else no one tells you.

What you build, how you build it, who and why.

That's what separates the wheat from the chaff, my people.

And that's what separates 'Meh!' from 'Aha!'.

If I were launching a product today, I'd only focus on these three things 👇

1️⃣ Talking to users, understanding their pains
Not just surveys or analytics. Real conversations. Get on calls, watch them use your product, and understand what keeps them up at night.

2️⃣ Refining the product's UX
Understanding your users' pains is half the story. It's how you go about delivering the solution, and almost no one gets this right without user research and testing (true story).

3️⃣ Defining my GTM strategy
Who are you selling to? Where do they hang out? What's your message? Without clarity here, you're just shouting into the void.

💡 Deeply understanding your market and delivering an experience people actually want to pay for gets you to £1M+ ARR.

What would you focus on if you were starting fresh today?

Lemme below 👇

#saas #startups #founders #product

Most founders get stuck building what they think their users want.

I call it the founder-ego trap.

Here's what happens:

You've got this brilliant vision in your head.

But you're building for yourself, not your actual users.

The warning signs of founder bias are obvious:

👉 You ignore contradictory feedback
👉 You prioritise your favourite features
👉 You build based on gut feeling
👉 You assume you know best
👉 You skip user research

I hate to say it, but your assumptions are probably wrong.

I've designed and built over 200+ apps in 20 years, and 9/10 of them fail.

Not because of the execution of the idea.

But because you've skipped validation.

What successful founders do instead:

✅ Put ego aside
✅ Test assumptions early
✅ Talk to customers constantly
✅ Validate before building anything
✅ Embrace uncomfortable feedback

I've seen too many brilliant founders waste months building products their users don't actually need.

Get out of your own head and into your users' world.

Stop building what YOU want.
Start building what THEY need.

Who's seen the founder-ego trap happen? 🙋🏻‍♂️

Senior UI/UX Desiger

Nobody talks about the work behind the work.

So let me.

For every design I ship, there are 30 that died.

Ideas I had to let go.
Sketches nobody saw.

Hours on things nobody thinks about.

Error states.
Empty states.
Loading screens.
And so on and on....

But hardest part isn't design. It's the conversations.

Defending a decision.
Moving back and forth.
Rebuilding after a last-minute pivot.

The final design looks simple. 

That's the point.
But simple was never easy.

If your work feels invisible...

You're probably doing it right.

How I USED to make case studies:

Step 1: Open Figma
Step 2: Stare at blank canvas
Step 3: Look for "inspiration"
Step 4: Copy a layout from it
Step 5: Realize my content doesn't fit

Then… ( it’s not finished )

Step 6: Start over
Step 7: Give up again
Step 8: Tell myself "next weekend"

(sound familiar?)

How I make them NOW:

Step 1: Open Claude Code
Step 2: Describe my project
Step 3: Gamma generates the deck
Step 4: I am finally Done with case study

3 minutes vs 3 weeks of procrastination.

Same quality.
Zero stress.

Hiring managers don't care about your case study's typography.
They care about your thinking.
Show them that instead.

P.S. Tag a designer who needs this 👇

P.P.S. What's YOUR excuse? (I've heard them all 😇)

Here's a proven way to stand out as a UX designer in 2026.

(Without adding another certification to your wall)

Stop focusing on "designing screens". 
Focus on "designing outcomes".

When you present work to stakeholders?

Your job is not to show how pretty it looks. 
It's to show why it matters.

This is the main "metric" of everything you design"

1. User pain points → Connect them to cost
2. Redesigns → Show the numbers behind them
3. They need a solution → Be their strategic partner

Stop hiding behind "I'm just the designer".

Share the "why" → Not just the "what"
This builds irrevocable trust.

Don't just push pixels. 
Push thinking. 

Make sure your seat at the table stays. 

When restructuring comes? 
(And it will) You'll still be there.

Pretty? No. → "Impactful". Always.

(Repost this for your network ♻️)

P.S. Do you notice some designers hiding behind Figma files? Avoiding the business conversation entirely?

Every designer should SAVE this Accessibility Checklist: 

1. Images include alt text
2. Buttons have clear labels
3. Body text is 16px or larger
4. Text contrast is at least 4.5:1
5. Click targets are minimum 44px
6. Forms show clear error messages
7. Icons are never used without labels
8. Navigation works with keyboard only
9. Animations can be reduced or disabled
10. Focus states are visible for keyboard users

Follow this checklist, and you'r already ahead of 90% of products online.

Accessible design isn’t complicated.
It’s just intentional.

Save this post for your next UI review.

(Repost for other designers ♻️)

P.S. Which one do you check last before shipping a design?

Junior designers add design elements. 

But senior designers remove.

One rule that fixed 80% of my designs:

Take your finished screen.
Start deleting things. One by one.

In practice:

That extra icon? Remove.
That extra border? Remove.
That extra shadow? Remove.

Keep going until something breaks. Stop there.

Everything you deleted before that? Never needed.

Took me years to trust subtraction over addition. 
Now it's the first thing I do on every project.

💾 Save this for your next design review.

P.S. What element do you always overuse?

How to choose UX research method as a junior?

Need to know HOW MANY users have the problem → Quantitative.
Need to know WHY the problem exists → Qualitative.

Before choosing qual or quant, ask one question: "What do I need to learn?"

I want to know why users churn → Qualitative
I want to understand user emotions → Qualitative
I want to explore a new feature idea → Qualitative
I want to know what percentage of users churn → Quantitative
I want to count how many users have the problem → Quantitative
I want to measure if a redesign improved task success → Quantitative

If you're picking a method before knowing your question...
You're solving the wrong problem first.

Every junior designer can learn this. It's not as hard as you think.

1 question at a time → 1 method at a time

P.S. Repost this if you find this useful ♻️ and save this guide.

Here's the truth about designing intuitive UX...

You first start to design → some users may get it.
You design consistently → a lot of users will get it.
You start to give your 100% → everyone will get it.

But what comes after that stage?

When you add more features → a lot of users will struggle.
When you start to "assume" → most users won't follow.
When you expect them to adapt → most will churn.

Unless...You help them "feel" confident at every step.

You offer a sense of "clarity" in every interaction.
You provide more than functionality → You give them ease.

So what is "intuitive UX" exactly?

It's when a user opens your product for the first time and already knows what to do. No tutorial needed. 

The layout, the labels, the flow...Everything just "makes sense." 

Always remember:
Users may use your app for the features.
But they stay for the experience → the effortless, intuitive one. ❤️

(90% of churned users cite "too confusing" as their reason for leaving)

Help them "flow" → not just "function" .

Repost ♻️ if you agree with this

There's  2 types of designers.

The "creative" and "disciplined" designer:

Creative designer:

Always has the wildest idea in the room → sometimes too wild to ship
Portfolio is beautiful → but their project delivery is unpredictable
Pushes boundaries → but sometimes pushes deadlines too
Gets praised in brainstorms → but panics during execution
Gets noticed → but doesn't always get rehired

The "disciplined" designer:

Shows up every day with the same energy → Day 1 or Day 100
Delivers on time → even when the work isn't "groundbreaking"
Communicates progress clearly → no surprises for stakeholders
Portfolio shows shipped work → real products, real outcomes
Gets paid → consistently, repeatedly, and without chasing

(Bonus) 

Type 3: 
The rare designer who has both → They run the industry :)

Creativity is the spark.  Discipline is the engine.

One gets you in the door. 
The other builds your career. ❤️

(Invest 3 seconds into reposting this one, will you?) ♻️

P.S. Which type are you right now? Be honest.

Unpopular opinion: Figma is the last tool you should open.

Not the first.

Here's the process I use for every project:

Phase 1 → Discovery (1 week)
Research. Competitors. Customer Journey.
↳ You can't solve what you don't understand.

Phase 2 → Prototyping (2 weeks)
Architecture. Flows. Wireframes. Testing.
↳ You can't design what you haven't structured.

Phase 3 → Design (5 weeks)
UI Concepts. Final UI. UI Kit. Handoff.
↳ Now you design. Not before.

8 weeks total. 

"But that's too slow."
No. 

Redesigning a product 3 times because you skipped research is slow. 

Arguing with devs because there's no handoff doc is slow. 
Rebuilding flows because nobody tested the wireframe is slow.

Process isn't slow.

Skipping process is slow.

(Save + Repost for others ♻️)

P.S. Do you follow a process or wing it?

"Good designers have a natural eye for color."

No they don't.

They have a system.

And most of them use the same one:
60-30-10.

60% of the screen is one neutral 
30% is one supporting tone 
10% is one accent

It's simple a ratio.

You could pick ugly colors and still make a clean UI with this rule.
You could pick beautiful colors and still make a mess without it.

The "eye" people talk about? It's pattern recognition.

And pattern recognition comes from systems.
Not talent.

Start with the system.

♻️ Repost or Save if you're tired of the "natural talent" myth.

P.S. Talent or system what matters more? 👇

I've been studying dark UX patterns for a while now.

Here's everything I see on one Temu product card:

"Deal" badge → urgency without a deadline
"17K+ sold" → social proof replacing analysis
1,180 reviews → volume creating false authority
Fake "original" price → anchoring your perception
Cart icon right next to the price → reducing friction
Product image with dimensions → implying precision
Everything above the fold → no scrolling needed to buy
Percentage shown in orange → framing savings over cost

8 design decisions.

But...0 of them are about helping you choose.
All of them are about helping you click.

Feel free to repost this ♻️ 

But my ask is:
Next time you shop online, count the tricks first. Then decide.

P.S. Which one surprised you (1-8)? Anything I missed? 👇

Every time I share this advice, some designers get mad. 

“Users do judge products visually”
“The UI matters more than ever now”
“Brand perception starts with visuals”

My advice: Stop using UI and UX like they mean the same thing.

Chances are: Your interface matters a lot.
Chances are: Your user experience matters even more.

(Fun fact: A product can look amazing and still frustrate users)

So...

If you want better product discussions
If you want smarter design decisions
If you want to solve the right problems

Separate UI from UX. (Thank me later)

P.S. Don’t get mad. ✌️

UX vs UX

My non-negotiable rules for writing button copy.

(7 micro-copy rules every junior designer needs to know)

Lead with the outcome e.g. "Get Your Free Guide"
"Sign Up" = vague → "Start for Free" = clear value
Keep it to 2-5 words → Longer than that? Rewrite it.
Never use "Submit" → Nobody wants to "submit" anything
Never write what the system does → Write what the user gets
Kill the # 1 objection inside the button e.g. "Try It, No Credit Card"

Read it out loud → If it sounds like a robot wrote it, it's wrong.

Bonus: 
Never use "Submit" on a button because you ran out of ideas. 

If you can't describe the value in 5 words, you don't understand the feature well enough.

Bad CTAs describe the process. 
Good CTAs describe the outcome = That's the whole game.

P.S. Do you follow UX copy rules?

2 years ago I was handing off Figma files.

Today I push code to GitHub.

Same person. 
Same skills. 

One new tool. AI.

I didn't hire a developer.
I didn't go back to school. 
I didn't learn computer science. 

I just started "building."

Backend? AI. 
Databases? AI. 
The scary stuff? AI.

Design, UX, how it feels?

That's still me.
Always will be.

Turns out, a designer who builds the "whole thing"?
Pretty powerful.

♻️ Repost if you know a designer who needs to hear this.

P.S. Which idea have you been sitting on? Tell me below. 👇

Here's something I never post about.

(it starts with a DM I almost ignored)

Last week someone messaged me on Linkedin.

"Hey, do you do branding?"

My first instinct: no.
My second instinct: why not?
My third instinct: LinkedIn says I'm a product designer.

I replied anyway. "What do you need?"

She said: 
"Logo for pilates studio".

I quoted the project. She said yes.
I sketched directions in Procreate on the couch.
I opened Adobe Illustrator. Not Figma. Illustrator.

My iPad on my lap. Coffee getting cold.

She wrote back 4 words.
"Don't change a thing."

And I just sat there.

Because I almost said no.
Because I convinced myself that product designers don't do this kind of work.

I thought:

That it wasn't my lane. 
That I needed to be a "brand designer" first.

That night I scrolled through my files.

Logos I made and never showed anyone. 
Brand identities sitting in folders named "personal" and "side work."

Years of work that never made it to my portfolio.

Because I thought it didn't count.
It wasn't "product design" so it wasn't real work.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever believed.

It's design. 
It counts.

P.S. The coffee was cold. The logo was good. Fair trade.

Most people think AI builders must be engineers.

But the next generation may be designers.

AI can write code.
But AI cannot design the product.

Someone must decide:

• What problem to solve
• How the flow works
• How the system behaves

That is product thinking.

Designers already do this.

P.S. Agree?

Top negotiators use this hack. It's called "echoing."

(here's how designers can use it on every feedback call)

So how it works?
Repeat the client's own words back to them.

That's why it's called the "Echo" method.

People trust their own words more than yours.
So make sure you use that.

Here's how it looks:

Client says: "I want it clean and minimal." 
Then later: "Add more icons, a banner, and a pattern." 
You say: "You wanted clean and minimal. Which of these fits that?"

Client says: "The homepage should feel premium." 
Then sends a reference that looks like a discount flyer. 
You say: "You said premium. This reference feels promotional. Let's find a better match."

Client says: "I love version 2." 
Two days later: "Actually, let's go back to version 1." 
You say: "You approved version 2 last week. What changed?"

No arguing. 

No "I told you so." 
Just their words "Echoing".

What if the client hasn't said anything specific?

Then quote the brief. 
The approved direction. 
The project goals defined.

Why this works: people respect their own words more than yours.

Use playback → fewer revisions, faster approvals.
Start quoting your clients back to them 😇

P.S. Repost this ( Save ⭐ this and Repost ♻️ )

Dark patterns are the biggest scam in tech.

And nobody's talking about it.

Today I tried to buy an CapCut app subscription.
Price on screen: €59.00/month.
Price at checkout: €299.99.

That's 30x markup.

This isn't a bug.
It's a feature.

It's called "bait and switch"one of the most common dark patterns in UX design.

Here's why it keeps working:

1. The purchase screen looks trustworthy
2. The real price only shows at the very last step
3. Most users tap "confirm" without reading

I teach designers to reduce friction.
But some companies use that skill to reduce your attention.

This wasn't some sketchy app.

It was in the App Store.
Processed through Apple.

If you're building products:

- Transparent pricing isn't a "nice to have"
- Transparent pricing is the bare minimum

Dark patterns are a tax on user trust.

And trust, once broken, doesn't come back.
