You’re building something real.
Design keeps getting in the way.

Not because it’s hard to find a designer. Because the ones you find are always one step outside the problem, waiting for a brief, working from assumptions, delivering something that’s almost right but not quite.
And you don’t have time for almost.

You’ve probably tried patching it. A freelancer for the landing page, a template for the product screens, a brief to an agency that came back
two weeks later and missed the point. You’ve probably tried AI too. It got
you ~70% of the way there and then stalled, because the remaining is judgment about your specific product, not pattern matching.

None of those options were close enough to what you’re actually building
to get it right.

What changes when someone thinks in both design and code is that the
gap between “good idea” and “thing that can ship” basically disappears.
No designs that break in development. No explaining your stack to
someone who’ll nod and ignore it.

You just move.

The retainer exists because every product is different and fixed-scope projects pretend otherwise. You get what you actually need, not what fit
into a proposal written before we understood the problem.

One request at a time. First draft in 48 hours. Revisions until it’s right.

$2,500/month.

Cancel anytime for ultimate flexibility.

Async workflows. Monthly call included.
No mandatory agenda, skip it if you
don’t need it.

Before we start, a short call to align on priorities, walk through the workflow,
and agree on what to tackle first.

Capabilities

Ciao!

I’m Giaco, a designer with a software background based in Italy.

I work with a small number of founders at a time, close enough to the work
to actually move with you, not just deliver to you. I care more about your outcome than the brief, which means if something isn’t working I’ll tell
you before you ask.

If this sounds right and you want to talk,
just tell me what you’re building.
