I'm an independent UI/UX designer who helps femtech founders turn validated ideas into polished, investor-ready products that attract customers, retain users, and scale as you grow. You're building something important. But right now: โ†’ Your MVP feels scrappy โ†’ Users sign up but don't stick โ†’ Investors aren't fully convinced โ†’ Your website or app doesn't reflect the caliber of your vision In femtech, trust is everything, and design isn't decoration โ€” it's credibility. โœจ ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜: โ†’ Investor-ready websites & apps that position you as a serious player โ†’ Clear UX that reduces friction & increases engagement โ†’ Copy and structure that users actually understand โ†’ Design systems built to scale with your team & product ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐—ช๐—ต๐˜† ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐—บ๐—ฒ? I'm a product designer and web design consultant offering senior-level expertise without the agency bloat. With 15+ years of multi-disciplinary experience in brand, web, and UX design, I bring agency-quality craft and strategic thinking โ€” but you work directly with me. No account managers translating your vision. No junior designers learning on your budget. Just clear communication, thoughtful execution, and a strategic design partnership. I specialize in femtech because women's health requires design that builds trust immediately. Sensitive subject matter. Complex medical information. Users who need credibility from the first interaction. I design with empathy, structure, and clarityโ€”so your product feels safe, credible, and easy to navigate. This work matters, and I take it seriously. ๐Ÿ’ฅ ๐—›๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—œ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ: I don't just execute features. I audit your product, identify where trust or conversions are breaking down, and design solutions that support real growth. You work directly with me from strategy through delivery. โ†’ Project-based: MVPs, redesigns, core app flows, marketing sites, landing pages โ†’ Retainer: Ongoing UX strategy, embedded product design, web maintenance If you're a femtech founder preparing to launch, raise, or scale โ€” let's talk. โšก๏ธ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐˜† ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ www.designgal.studio ๐Ÿ“ฉ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐˜† ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜?
