The Problem

Building with {AI is easy}, but shipping without a designer is costing you growth

{AI-driven} design services
built to create real GTM value

UXR & Discovery

Figuring out who you're really building for and what's actually stopping them from adopting, before you design anything.

Product Strategy

Deciding what to build next based on evidence, not gut feeling, and turning that into a roadmap the whole team can see.

Product Design & Branding

Designing the actual screens and flows so users reach the "aha moment" quickly instead of dropping off.

Product-Led Growth

Designing the mechanics that turn a signup into an active, paying, expanding user, on their own, without a sales call.

Design Engineering

Designing directly in the codebase so what ships is exactly what was designed, no handoff drift.

AI Design Systems

Building the rulebook humans and AI can read, so every generated screen stays on-brand and consistent.

No guesswork on pricing.
I help solve design problems at {$4,399/mo}

You've raised $500k–20m. You need a senior product designer on retainer to iterate as fast as possible toward product-market fit.

Deep Understanding

I get to the 0-1 bet fast: what value comes first, which message framing lands, and which adoption blockers kill the loop before users ever convert.

Weekly Alignment

We align every week on Monday-Friday tasks, roadmap bets, sprint goals, and backlog cuts so design always points at product-market fit.

Product-led growth advisor

I translate interview and market signal into insights, turn research into decisions, and run brainstorming sessions when the next bet is unclear.

Product Design Engineering

I ship on a design branch, open design PRs into production, and run Design Agents QA so high-fidelity work is reviewable and shippable the same week.

AI/Human Design System

I leave DESIGN.md, portable AI.md, and SKILLS.md so I or your engineers can stay on brand with AI-assisted shipping, without over-building a system you do not need yet.

Hi, I'm {Simone}

Founding UX/AI Product Designer

Founder of supadesign. Design + AI for founders, startups, and enterprise teams. Ex-frontend engineer building products that convert, retain, and scale.

Mission

We're in the plastic era of design. AI can generate product UI and code from a prompt in seconds. But industry-leading products still need a foundation of craft, taste, and the right context to convert, retain, and scale.

My goal with supadesign is to help you build a human-designed product that's good for users and for the business: a system your team can extend using AI, without breaking layout, brand, or clarity.

7+ years of experience designing and building digital products for startups, from zero-to-one to design systems that scale across B2B SaaS, developer tools, and field-service platforms.

I started as a frontend engineer, so I care as much about what ships as what it looks like. I work end-to-end, framing every design decision around measurable outcomes like adoption, conversion, and revenue.

If that sounds like the all-in-one design partner you need, let's chat.

Ready to build something
that actually converts?

  • B2B SaaS Expertise

    I go from zero to one by thinking strategically about your goals and shipping a product your clients will actually want to use

  • Direct collaboration

    Clear, straightforward communication so we can design a product in a reasonable time and at a fair price

  • Few clients only

    A handful of startups a year, never more, so every engagement gets full focus and I lead the work myself
