    Nada

    A deliberately quiet todo app: empty states that breathe, strike-through completion, and zero chrome so the list is the product.

About

Solo. Close to the work.

Elliot

Product interfaces. iOS and web.

  • Bouldering
  • Ultralight hiking
  • Photographs
  • Music

I build product interfaces end to end: first layout to an App Store build or a live URL. Clients hire me when the UI can’t look like an afterthought and the engineering still has to hold up.

I work solo, close to your designer (or that hat, when you need it). Clear scope, weekly builds, honest tradeoffs.

  • Best fitEarly products, redesigns, and teams that care how the thing feels in someone’s hand.
  • How I workAsync-friendly, written updates, TestFlight / staging links you can tap, not slide decks.
  • The barLooks considered. Ships. That’s the whole pitch.

Process

How hiring me actually works: simple on purpose.

Start a project →

  1. Intro call

    Goals, constraints, timeline, and whether we’re a fit. No pitch deck required: a clear problem is enough.

  2. Scope & quote

    Written scope, phases if useful, and a fixed or phased quote so you know what you’re buying.

  3. Build in the open

    Weekly builds on TestFlight or staging. You see progress early, not at the end of a black box.

  4. Ship & handoff

    App Store / production deploy, clean handoff notes, and a path for what comes next if you want it.

Questions

Are you remote?

Yes. Async-friendly: written updates, TestFlight or staging you can tap. Intro is a short video call. Worldwide is fine.

Do you design, or only build?

Both. I wear the design hat when you need it, or implement your designer’s system without flattening it. Clients hire me when the UI can’t look like an afterthought.

Who owns the repo and the listing?

You do. Code, repo, App Store / domain, handoff notes. I don’t keep a key.

What’s not in a slice?

A whole product. Backend, accounts, a ground-up redesign. A slice is one problem: a feature, a polish pass, a page set.

Can you join an existing app or site?

Yes. That’s often the slice: a hole in the UI, a feature that has to ship, a polish pass before a release.

iOS and web together?

Yes. That’s usually a Build, or a phased quote. Platform is a scope decision, not a separate product.

Pricing

Priced by the shape of the work, not iOS vs web. Ranges so you can self-select. Fixed number after a short intro and written scope.

Range moves with design-from-scratch, iOS + web together, backend, or a hard date.
