UI/UX and product design for startups that need to ship fast.
- Available for Q4‘26
- Web, Branding, Product
I design SaaS products, marketplaces and the brands around them. Eight years inside startup teams, working on the flows people use daily, not decks. You get a designer who asks what the number needs to move before opening Figma.

Process
-
Discovery
One week, usually. I learn your product, your users and what the business actually needs to hit. Then we agree on scope and a timeline before any design starts.
-
Design
Where most of the work happens: wireframes, UI and clickable prototypes, reviewed with you every week. Decisions get made against your goals, not taste alone.
-
Delivery
Production-ready files, a design system your developers can build against, and support through implementation, not a handoff that ends when the files are sent.
Most designers hand over files and disappear. I've spent 8 years embedded in startups, shipping, iterating, and making product decisions alongside founders. That's the difference.
Eight years designing products from inside startup teams
Design has been my focus for eight years, most of it spent embedded inside startups rather than watching from the outside. That's where I learned how a color choice or a flow decision actually shows up in a conversion number.
I've worked alongside founders and product teams from early MVP through to scaled products, shipping under real constraints instead of polishing decks. That hands-on pace is still how I prefer to work.
I see design as a practical tool, not decoration. It's a way to make hard product decisions clearer and easier to commit to, for the team as much as for the user.
What founders say after shipping with me
"We came in with a dashboard that had grown in every direction at once and no one willing to touch it. Matija spent the first week just mapping how our team actually works before proposing anything, which is not what we expected. What shipped is the first version our customers stopped filing tickets about."
"Working with Matija has been a great experience. He's a designer with a strong creative vision and a sharp eye for detail, always eager to learn and improve. Beyond design, he also brings valuable coding skills that make him versatile and technically confident. Innovative, reliable, and a true team player - always ready to help and contribute with fresh ideas."
"Not going to lie, we handed over a mess of ideas and expected chaos back. Instead we got something our volunteers genuinely enjoy using. Matija asked good questions early on instead of just running with our first idea, and it made a real difference in the final product. Onboarding new volunteers used to be a headache, and now it barely needs an explanation."
"Matija brings a level of structure and visual clarity that elevates every project he touches. He has a remarkable ability to simplify complex interface systems into engaging, intuitive UX. His expertise in Figma and conversion-oriented design make him both a strong visual designer and strategic UX thinker. He has a methodological approach, combined with a genuine attention to detail. Stunning visuals and strong organization truly define his work."
"Our booking flow used to lose people halfway through. That's fixed now, and support tickets dropped more than I expected. Matija dug into the actual data instead of guessing, found where people were dropping off, and redesigned around that. It's rare to work with a designer who thinks about the business side as much as the interface."
"I have worked with Matija for many years and can really recommend him and his skills. Thank you for all your great work Matija!"
"Handed Matija a pretty messy set of screens, honestly wasn't sure what he'd do with it. What came back was miles easier for our warehouse team to actually use. He took the time to understand how our team actually works on the floor, not just how the screens looked on paper. Training time for new staff dropped noticeably after we rolled it out."
"I had the chance to work with Matija on the same creative team, where he worked as a designer. During that time, he showed consistency, reliability, and a steady, thoughtful approach to every project that came his way. He's a dedicated team member who tackles challenges calmly and always looks for practical and creative solutions. Matija has strong communication skills and is a true team player who's always willing to help and make sure we meet all project requirements on time."
"Finally have a site that looks like our actual product. Conversion ticked up within the first week. Matija pushed back on a few of our early ideas that would have looked nice but converted worse, and he was right every time. Exactly the kind of design partner you want when you're moving fast."
Still deciding? Let’s talk.
Product design and UX/UI, design systems, website design and brand identity, mostly for SaaS products and marketplaces. Engagements range from a single landing page to a full product redesign, and marketing sites can ship fully built in Webflow or Framer.
A landing page or marketing site usually takes 2-4 weeks. A full product design or redesign typically runs 4-10 weeks depending on scope. You get a clear timeline and weekly progress updates before any work starts.
Projects are scoped individually and always quoted as a fixed price. No hourly surprises. A focused landing page starts around €2–3k. A full product design or redesign typically runs €6–15k depending on scope. After a short intro call you get a written proposal with everything included.
Three phases: Discovery, where I learn your product, users and goals (usually one week); Design, where most of the work happens across wireframes, UI and prototypes; and Delivery, production-ready files, a design system and a handoff your developers will thank you for. You're involved at every stage, not just at the end.
A short brief about your product, goals and timeline, plus access to anything that already exists: brand assets, analytics, current designs. One kickoff call is enough to start.
Yes. Marketing sites ship fully built in Webflow or Framer. For product UI you get a developer-ready design system and support during implementation.
Yes. Most of my clients are early-stage or growth-stage tech startups. The process is built for speed: fast iterations, async communication and design decisions backed by conversion goals rather than taste alone.
