Helping startups build better products through design!

I’m now offering comprehensive design-centric product reviews for teams that might benefit from an independent, professional consultation before re-designing an existing feature or releasing a new product. My goal is to provide a detailed overview of a specific product feature from the user experience perspective, identify major usability issues, examine UI components (including interactions), and supply actionable instructions for recommended improvements.

I practice a holistic approach to building products, so naturally, in order for me to provide the most value through the design review, my consultations begins with an intro call during which I ask my clients to share relevant details about their business, products, and people who use their software.

After the intro call, I’ll review your product within a week and rate it on the following success criteria:

  • Predictable information architecture that’s easy to learn within a short period of time

  • Intuitive navigation system that helps users find their way around the product and offers easy access to key functionality

  • Flexible user interface design that supports and offers equal control both to new and experienced users

  • Clear feedback on successful actions that keeps the users informed as they perform key actions

  • Intuitive error handling that provides concise and actionable feedback to the users

  • Appropriate visual styling and placement of key UI components such as buttons, controls, input fields, and labels that support the overall hierarchy of relationships between functional product elements and lead the users to take actions with confidence

How It Works

  • 1. Set up a 30-minute Skype call with me free of charge so I can learn more about your business, products, and people who use your products. Follow this link to book a Skype call: calendly.com/iannikov/intro-call

  • 2. My rates for a design consultation start at $500 and go up depending on product (feature) complexity. You will receive an exact quote during the intro call, after which I’ll send you a payment link. Payment must be received in full before I begin reviewing your product. I'm also happy to sign any NDAs before getting access to your product.

  • 3. Once the product review is completed, I’ll email you a report and ask you to schedule a follow up 30-minute Skype call to go over my report together. During our conversation I’ll provide specific recommendations to improve your product.
