Design that feels alive at first glance.

For people who love what they do and want it to show. Websites, apps and ads, one person from the first sketch to launch.

Blick homepage. A man in a beige trench coat stands blurred in front of the giant word “BLICK”; only what shows through a pair of black glasses is sharp. “Look sharp, Berlin.” sits bottom left, with an orange “New · Spree · €189” sticker beside the glasses.
TutorMatch’s home screen. “Welcome back Lydia”, a card inviting her to find the perfect tutor for her child, and her current tutors Janna, Sofia and David.
Halflight homepage. A concrete living room faces the Atlantic, a sun-path arc spans the window, and the headline reads "Rooms drawn around the light".
Tulpina homepage. A hand-tied bouquet of peonies, poppies, ranunculus and tulips stands over the giant word “tulpina”, between a “99 lei/week” card and “The bouquet they’ll remember.”

  • Websites that load fast and are easy to update yourself.
  • Apps designed around the few things people open them for.
  • Ads that look like one brand in every feed and format.

Blick – Optician in Berlin

Site for an invented optician in Berlin, where the page is blurred until you look through the glasses. Move them with the cursor or a finger; the frame finder sorts twelve frames by face shape and puts the top pick on them.

About

Hi, I’m Alessia.

I’m a UX/UI designer in Bucharest who also writes the frontend. I started on the development side and kept designing because I wanted to decide how things should look and behave, not only how to build them.

Working both sides means nothing gets lost between the Figma file and the live site: the spacing, the motion and the small states end up the way they were designed. At a fintech I designed and built several products under tight deadlines, which is also where accessibility became a habit rather than a checklist.

I work in English and Romanian, mostly with small businesses and startups that want a site or an app that feels considered, without an agency around it.

FAQ

Good questions, honest answers.

What does a project cost?

It depends on scope. After our call you get a fixed quote with a clear scope and timeline, with no hourly surprises.

Is the first call really free?

Yes. It’s 15 minutes to talk about your idea and see if we’re a good fit, with no obligation.

Can you build the site too, or just design it?

Either. You can get a Figma file for your developers, or a finished, animated frontend ready to launch.

Do you handle the backend?

No. I design and build the frontend, and your developers connect it to your systems. For simple sites, contact forms and content editing are covered without a custom backend.

Can I update the site myself?

Yes, if you need to. I can set it up so you can edit text, images and news without touching code.

How long does it take?

Typically one to six weeks depending on scope, with first designs within a week.

I don’t have copy or photos yet. Is that a problem?

No. I’ll help shape the copy and tell you exactly which photos you need.

Do you work in English or Romanian?

Both.
