A-to-Z Website audit

It’s an affordable way to take your website from a messy, dead zone to a thriving, creative space. If you are second-guessing your DIY-ed website, or want an expert objective view on the work done this is the best service for you.

help on existing project

If you have an existing project and looking for a freelancer to take it on and roll with it — you are in the right place. I've taken on countless projects and helped the team to see it through till launch.

Unique project needs

Have a unicorn needs? YAY! That what makes it exciting, isn’t it? Fill out the form below and provide as much details as you willing to share and I’ll see if I can help. Pss.. between you and I this is the best kind of projects :)

work process

Flexibility is at the heart of my work process, as I understand that each collaboration is unique and may call for a different approach. I've outlined the most common and highly effective processes that have proven to work exceptionally well.

01

Brief & kickoff call

It's time to get to know you and your project better. After the discovery call and the signed contract, I'll send you the questionnaire to start getting to know your brand on a deeper level. On the kickoff call, we will go through and agree on the project plan.

02

assets and Wireframes

During this step, I'll ask you to share all of the assets you currently have available. Your brand book, fonts, logo, photos, etc. We will agree on the concept and I will create a site map and low-fidelity wireframes of the website. At this point, we are focusing on the content and user experience.

03

Design options

After wireframe approval, we are moving on to the exciting part of the process - high-fidelity design. I usually present 2 options for the home page design that could be different in module layout and functionalities.

04

Full website design

Once we agree on the Home page design I'll start working on the design of the all website pages. I'll create a desktop view first, and once that gets approved I'll work on the mobile view, so you can see what it's going to look like on the smaller screens.

05

Handoff to developers

If you already have developers it's important to prepare the design file for them for a faster and smoother build. I'll export all the needed assets and clean up the file, prep all of the styles and states, to set the dev team to success.

06

Website QA

After the website is built I'll  do a quality assurance check to make sure everything follows the design and intended functionality. I also will provide feedback on the animation to make sure the interaction is smooth and follows best practices.

Hi, i'm lidia

Visual design gets my heart racing, and I'm beyond grateful to dive into it every single day. I create websites that are user-friendly, follow visual trends, and give a delightful experience. Here are a few achievements under my belt:

Prototyped and designed a few dozens websites with different users, functionality, and interactions in mind.

Created and presented multiple skill-sharing design trainings for the internal design teams.

Collaborated with design leads and other senior creatives to create a multimillion pitch, visual directions, and campaigns.

Built an internal design system by creating Figma templates to enhance the workflow between the developers and designers.

Created graphics in the incredibly fast-paced environment for a fundraising campaign that raised $1.3 million in just a few days.

Worked with a wide range of clients including beauty and fashion brands, and a large high-profile tech company in Sunnyvale.
