What I do

A broad, end-to-end practice.

I’m passionate about helping businesses grow, with a deep focus on users’ needs and design ethics.

Get in touch

I’m a T-shaped designer. My core is product thinking and best-in-class UX/UI for B2B SaaS. Around that, I bring a wide visual toolkit (marketing graphics, typography, iconography, and animation) and the delivery skills I built at award-winning creative agencies in the UK.

Every engagement is scoped to your stage and goals. Here are the shapes it usually takes.

Employee, full or part-time

Open to remote roles worldwide, and hybrid roles in the south of France.

Contract projects

Fixed-scope work, fully embedded with your team for the duration. Typically a one-month design sprint, a three-month 0-to-1 build, or a focused day-rate blitz.

New

Retainer

Lighter, ongoing design support for teams that aren’t ready for a full-time hire.

Guaranteed daily overlap with ET and PT time zones, so we stay in sync wherever your team sits.

What people say

A few words from people I’ve worked with.

“I’ve never worked with a designer that balanced product thinking and visual craft that well. Going the extra mile is her norm, with intense care from the big picture down to the small details. There’s no reason not to work with her.”
Siyan RenSiyan RenDesign Exec · managed Barbara directly
“I’ve consistently been impressed by Barbara’s creativity, thoughtfulness, and proactive approach. She shines in early product discovery, collaborating with product and research partners to shape strong, user-centered direction, and asking the right questions early. A thoughtful teammate whose initiative and positive energy make her an asset to any product team.”
