Maia Deutsch
Product Manager
"Chantel was the UX designer on my team's educational mobile app at Google from 2022-2023, and working with her during this time period was an absolute pleasure. Hiring Chantel was an easy decision after receiving a stellar recommendation from another colleague, and my only regret is that we didn't have more time to work together. Chantel is both a meticulous designer with an unparalleled eye for detail and a bright and caring team member who's always willing to roll up her sleeves to learn new skills and take on additional responsibilities. Her technical background helped her be more effective in collaborating with our engineering team, and her research skills helped us gain a better understanding of our users. Whoever she works next will be lucky to have her on their team."

Tri Pham
Senior UX Designer
"Although we were assigned separate projects, she was endlessly inquisitive about understanding the operational and business aspects: how to be effective and impactful beyond the UI, to produce the best experience for her team and the users. Chantel independently crafted an atomic design system in Figma that met both Google Material standards and her product's specialized brand guidelines. These are key foundational steps to increase her product team's UX maturity. Chantel is an absolute joy to talk to and work with; a holistic designer who would be a great addition anywhere!"

I can empathize with the pain points developers and product designers have with each other.
You deserve someone who can bridge the gap between designers and developers.
Designers feel their mocks aren’t being implemented to its truest form.
This lack of alignment can pose more delayed launches, reduced productivity, and a less than ideal product that is shipped out.
Establishing a design system helps address these inefficiencies. By collaborating with everybody on the team, I understand all the pain points that each role is struggling in and provide solutions that will last.
If you’d like to know more about my process and how I can help your team, schedule a call to see how a design system can benefit your organization.

Questions & Answers

What’s the timeline for establishing a design system?
The timeline for creating a design system typically ranges from 8 to 12 weeks, ultimately depending on how complex the project is.
Are design systems only for large enterprises? How can I tell if my company is ready for one?
Design systems aren’t just for big companies—they work for teams of all sizes. As a matter of fact, it’s advantageous to start small and add to the system as your product and team expand, helping your company avoid future design and tech debt while improving consistency and efficiency right away.
How do you handle revisions?
Three complimentary revision cycles are included with each design system project. Additional revisions will be billed at the standard hourly rate.
What do we need to have before we can hire you?
Before hiring me, it’s essential to have at least one point of contact, preferably two, to manage the product and development aspects, with a stronger focus on the latter. This team member will collaborate closely with me to create reusable components and ensure the design system is implemented effectively across the company. This role is non-negotiable because design systems only succeed when teams see their value in day-to-day work. Having a developer involved in building these components not only helps them understand the system’s impact but also positions them as the expert and go-to person once the system is handed off, ensuring smooth adoption and long-term maintenance within your company.
How do we get started?
Schedule a call to talk about your company, goals, and where your product is now. This helps me understand your needs and plan the next steps for your design system.
