Product Designer | AI-Assisted SaaS UX & UX Audits
AI can generate a UI. It cannot tell you which product decision will prevent expensive rework. I bring 16+ years of Product Design and UX experience to shape SaaS products, MVPs, onboarding, dashboards, and UX audits - then use AI tools to move faster. I help founders and product teams make better decisions about what to build, how it should work, and what to improve first. My background spans SaaS platforms, B2B software, CRMs, web and mobile apps, data-heavy dashboards, and early-stage products. I bring the experience to see the real UX problem; AI-assisted tools help us move from insight to a testable direction more quickly and efficiently. π― WHERE I CREATE VALUE β UX Audit for SaaS & AI Products I review live products, user journeys, onboarding, navigation, dashboards, and critical workflows. You receive a clear diagnosis, annotated findings, and a prioritized plan: quick wins, deeper structural fixes, and the reasoning behind each recommendation. A focused UX audit can be a smart first engagement before a larger redesign. β Product Design for SaaS Platforms & B2B Workflows Complex products need more than attractive screens. I simplify information architecture, multi-step tasks, user flows, states, and data-heavy interfaces so users can understand what matters and complete their work. This is especially valuable for SaaS platforms, admin tools, CRMs, and dashboards. β MVP Strategy & Product Definition For a new product, I help turn a broad idea into a focused MVP: who it serves, the core jobs users need to complete, which features belong in the first release, and what needs validation. The output can include product structure, user flows, wireframes, screen requirements, and a practical path for the build team. β Onboarding & AI Product UX First-use experiences and AI-powered features need clear expectations, useful feedback, and sensible recovery when something goes wrong. I map onboarding, AI interactions, empty and error states, and the moments where users need control or explanation. The goal is a product people can understand and trust. β Rapid AI-Assisted Prototyping I use AI to accelerate research synthesis, explore alternatives, draft UX copy, and turn product logic into interactive concepts. ChatGPT, Claude, and Lovable can help make ideas visible early, while my UX judgment guides the structure, quality, and decisions. A fast prototype is useful when it answers a specific product question, not just when it looks finished. π§ HOW I WORK 1. Understand the product, business goal, users, constraints, and the decision you need to make. 2. Audit the current experience or define the MVP's essential user journeys. 3. Explore and compare options with AI-assisted workflows and appropriate prototypes. 4. Prioritize recommendations and explain trade-offs in plain language. 5. Give your team clear product direction, UX documentation, and actionable next steps. I can collaborate with founders, product managers, developers, and teams already using Figma or Figma AI. We agree on deliverables and ownership of any production design files before the project begins. My strongest contribution is product thinking, UX architecture, and informed direction throughout the process. π¦ WHAT YOU RECEIVE The deliverable depends on the problem. For a UX audit, it may be a concise review with screenshots, severity-ranked issues, and a recommended sequence of fixes. For an MVP, it may be a product map, key user flows, scope recommendations, and a prototype that helps the team test the idea. For an established SaaS platform, it may be a clearer dashboard structure, onboarding flow, or specification for a difficult interaction. I document assumptions, decisions, and open questions so the team can act. When user evidence is available, I use it to challenge assumptions; when it is missing, I identify what to learn next. This keeps product design grounded in real user needs. π KEY AREAS Product Design β’ SaaS UX β’ AI Product Design β’ UX Audit β’ Product Strategy β’ MVP β’ B2B SaaS β’ SaaS Platform β’ Dashboard UX β’ Onboarding UX β’ User Flows β’ Information Architecture β’ UX Research β’ Usability Testing β’ AI-Assisted UX Design β’ Rapid Prototyping π€ If you have a live product, show me the workflow that frustrates users or slows your team down. If you are building an MVP, share the brief and the decision you need to make next. We can begin with a focused UX audit, a product strategy session, or a defined design sprint.
