Good design is a decision made clearly, then made visible.

I'm Ish, an independent designer. I help small teams and founders turn a half-formed idea into a brand, a website, or a product people understand at first glance.

Selected work

Case studies are on the way. In the meantime, ask and I'll send a PDF of any project.

What I can help with

Brand identity

A logo, type, color, and voice that work together across everything you ship, from a business card to a billboard. Delivered with a short guide so your team can keep it consistent without me.

From $4,500 · 3–5 weeks

Websites

Marketing sites and landing pages designed and built, fast to load and easy for you to edit. I write the copy with you so the words and the layout are decided together.

From $3,500 · 2–4 weeks

Product design

Interfaces for web and mobile apps: flows, screens, and a component library your engineers can build from. Works best when I join early, before the first screen is coded.

From $6,000 · 4–8 weeks

Decks and documents

Pitch decks, sales presentations, and reports that make a complicated story easy to follow in the room. Structure first, then visuals.

From $1,800 · 1–2 weeks

Need something in between, or an ongoing retainer? Tell me what you're working on and I'll suggest a scope.

How a project runs

Call

A 30-minute conversation about what you need, what's already in place, and when you need it. Free, no deck.
Proposal

A one-page scope with a fixed price, a timeline, and exactly what you'll receive. You sign, we start.
Design

Weekly check-ins with real work on the table each time. Two rounds of revisions are included at every stage.
Handoff

Final files, source files, and a walkthrough. For websites, the site goes live on your domain before I send the last invoice.

About

I've spent the last decade designing for companies at very different scales, and I kept noticing the same thing: the most useful work happens when the person designing is also in the room for the decisions. So I went independent to keep that closeness.

I work with a small number of clients at a time, which means you get my attention rather than a junior's. I'm based in Portland, Oregon, and work with teams anywhere.
