What clients
actually said.

Four reviews. Two carry the founder’s name and company; two come from verified Upwork contracts and are shown the way the platform shows them. None are edited, all are dated, and the studio’s ratings can be checked on the platforms listed further down. No paid endorsements, no Lorem, no “Robert Smith”.

★★★★★
“Mariia led our project from branding and landing page design in Framer to the full UX/UI of the research platform. What impressed us most was her structured and product-focused approach. She did not just design screens. She built a clear and scalable system with well-thought user flows and interaction logic. After user testing she proactively refined the experience based on real feedback, improving clarity and usability. Mariia combines strong visual skills with deep UX thinking and business alignment. She is not just a designer. She is a strategic product partner.”

“I hired Maria for logo design and a brand book and honestly did not expect such a high-level result in such a short time. She understood the brand vision immediately and translated it into a strong visual identity. The process was smooth, communication fast, and every revision was handled with attention to detail. The brand book is structured, clear, and ready for real business use. Highly professional, reliable, and efficient. Definitely recommended.”

What they mention most

Four things, every time.

A system, not screens

“She did not just design screens. She built a clear and scalable system with well-thought user flows and interaction logic.”

Every engagement ships as a system, tokens, components, documented states, because your developers have to build from it next.

Speed without the shortcuts

“…such a high-level result in such a short time. […] every revision was handled with attention to detail.”

Fixed scope means the number of rounds is agreed before the first one; the time goes into the work, not into re-scoping it.

Communication that needs no PM

“She communicated clearly throughout the project and responded quickly to feedback, making changes as needed.”

There is no account manager in between. You deal with the founder who leads the work.

Business alignment

“Mariia combines strong visual skills with deep UX thinking and business alignment. She is not just a designer. She is a strategic product partner.”

Discovery starts with who buys and why they leave, not with a moodboard, the same first week every fixed-scope engagement runs.

How we handle reviews

Short list, on purpose.

We don’t pay for reviews and we don’t edit them, not for grammar, not for length. A review appears on this page in one of two forms: with the client’s name and company, or as a verified platform contract shown the way the platform shows it, rating, hours, date.

Screenshots of messages and anonymous praise don’t qualify. That rules out most of what agency testimonial pages are made of, and it keeps this one short. We would rather show four you can check than forty you can’t.

If you’ve worked with us and want to add yours, the route that lets others verify it is Clutch or Upwork: we mirror it here.

Frequently asked

Straight answers.

Are these reviews real?

Yes. Two carry the reviewer's name and company; two are verified Upwork contracts shown with the rating, hours and date the platform records. The studio's Clutch profile lists two verified reviews and the Upwork profile shows a 100% Job Success score across seven jobs, both are linked on this page.

Why are there only four?

Because we publish reviews only where you can verify them: a named founder, or a verified platform contract. Screenshots of messages and anonymous praise do not qualify. The studio is founder-led and has been running since 2023, the list grows at the pace the work does.

What did these projects involve?

Brand identity and the full UX/UI of an AI research platform; logo, monogram and brandbook for a beauty studio (a public case study on this site); mobile app UI; and UX consulting on a live interface. The same disciplines the pricing page lists, with their ranges.

What happens if a project doesn't go well?

Every engagement is fixed-scope with kill-switches written into the SOW, points where either side can stop, and what is owed if they do. That is why the reviews above talk about process rather than rescue. The mechanics are in our post on how we run a fixed-scope engagement.
