A good friend @vikpai reached out to redesign @ReferRush's landing page.
The eCom giants of India use his software, but his landing page was losing him sales and pricing him lower.
I convinced him that the page isn’t marketing fluff, it’s a sales rep.
And if it doesn’t position you like the category leader, people assume you’re the cheap option.
So we rebuilt it to:
• lead with outcomes
• prove that it’s legit
• make the next step obvious → install
Because of this page, he’s already getting more booked calls and people even commenting ‘you guys are what we’ve been looking for’
Design is a lever that makes the right customers WANT to buy from you.

Thought process and crafting designs catering to your clients needs is the differentiator today where every design has the same slop everywhere.
Generic gets scrolled.
Tailored gets paid.

I’ve landed several 5 figures design deals because of my problems solving skills.
A lot of designers think learning Auto Layout, Components, Variables, and every new Figma feature is the key to getting paid.
That’s all wrong. Nobody cares about that.
Outcomes are what matter:
→ How you help them get more users
→ How you increase conversions
→ How you make their product easier to use
→ How you help them make more money.
Clients will pay top dollar for that level of thinking.
Meanwhile, some incredibly talented designers struggle because they’re just focused on the tools. When they should be treated as a means to an end.
Focus on become a problem solver people are willing to pay for.

Trading interfaces are one of the toughest design challenges.
One screen has to balance data, split second decisions, and enough trust for users to put real money on the line.
I designed a chat to trade experience for project plutus, an AI powered trading platform on solana
The results:
> 2x hackathon winner
> $25M peak market cap
Most trading platforms bury you in charts and indicators. But this took a different approach. It made onchain trading feel like a conversation, so the next move stayed clear and easy.

A $5 product and a $500 product need completely different landing pages.
One needs speed. The other needs trust.
I designed a $4.99 app page that works in under a minute. The whole page is built for someone scrolling on their phone between TikToks.

Back in 2024, Mutant Labs brought me on as their only designer. $52K over 8 months, 14 products shipped.
By month three I was turning things around faster than most agencies even quote.

I co-founded Plutus. We won two Solana hackathons and the token hit $25M market cap.
It's different when you own what you're building. Every decision hits harder when it's yours.

I designed two sites for Mall Street. The mint page moved 4,440 NFTs in 40 minutes and did $656K.
The collection hit $35M in secondary volume that first month. Still kind of hard to believe those numbers were real.

I designed the DeGods marketplace. It sold out in 7 seconds for $4.2M.
Most people hadn't even connected their wallet yet. Still the fastest mint I've been part of.

22 days off this account. In that time I co-founded a startup and applied to YC.
Shipped 2 client projects and started 3 more.
Audited 90 past projects and changed my handle.
Found some numbers I never shared, should've been posting them this whole time.

Ended February with $53,000 in closed design deals
Solo studio, no employees, no outreach
Time to deliver 💪🏼

80 projects. 30 clients.
A few things I keep hearing:
“You think like a founder, not a designer”
“This is the fastest I’ve ever shipped”
“You actually understood what we needed”

I closed 3 design clients this week for $25,000.
A big unlock has been the way I package my offers.
Knowing how to sell is just as important (if not more) as design skill.

perceived trust is so important for crypto products, yet founders overlook it way too often

Made a pitch deck for a client and the investors responded with this after the presentation:
“fuck this is a good deck”
