What's it like working with you?
Think of me as a trusted friend with your best interests at heart. When we work together, I aim to guide you to the best of my ability. It’s all about mutual growth and learning. I prioritize iterative sharing, providing regular updates through email, Feishu or Wechat to ensure quick feedback cycles.
How long does a project take?
Projects usually range from 2 weeks to 3 months, though some have spanned up to 2 years. Every design project is unique and its full potential only unfolds over time after launch. I believe in maintaining healthy relationships, so I won’t leave you in the dark once the project is complete. I’m here to provide continued support whenever needed.
Do you accept all projects?
Nope. I only take on projects that align with my values and exclusively collaborate with people who care about the business impact of design and high-quality craftsmanship. Plus, I’ll only accept a project if I’m confident that the value you get from my services exceeds your investment.
How do you price your work?
I’ll dedicate ample time to understand your needs and what works best for your situation, then provide a clear, fixed price. This ensures transparency upfront about your investment, leaving no room for surprises.
Are you open to receiving files with unnamed layers?
Absolutely, as long as the file itself is structured in some way.
Are you open to receiving files with unnamed layers?
Absolutely, as long as the file itself is structured in some way.
Do you offer simple one-time consultations?
Sure. My clients often hire me for what I call time-to-value projects. Building a tangible prototype to validate a certain idea or creating specific interactions to provide an overall feel are two examples of this type of work. Feel free to contact me with your project details at lampnotion@gmail.com.
Got a design subscription hiding in the shadows?
Nope.
Process

From the initial concept to the final touches, discover how thoughtful design decisions are made, problems are solved, and innovative ideas are brought to life.

1

Discovery and Strategy

Through research and conversations, we dive deep into your brand's identity, your audience's needs, and the competitive landscape to craft a strategic foundation for the project.

2

Concept Development

This is where creativity begins to take shape, exploring different design directions, and iterating on concepts that align with the project goals. Collaboration is key in this phase, as your feedback helps refine the vision.

3

Design Execution

Once a concept is chosen, the detailed design work begins. This phase involves fleshing out the visual elements, typography, color schemes, and other design components.

4

Implementation and Testing

In this crucial stage, the design is transformed into a functional prototype or final product. I work closely with developers or use my own skills to ensure the design is accurately realized.

5

Launch and Evaluation

The project goes live, but the work doesn't stop there. Post-launch, I monitor the design's performance, gather feedback, and make any necessary adjustments.
