Sound familiar?
😩
Users find your product baffling and frustrating to use, so they give up and abandon it.
😩
Compared to modern startups, your outdated visuals make you look behind-the-times and unprofessional.
😩
You have great ideas for new features but need professional design help to bring them to life.
😩
Your free trial users aren't sticking around to become paying customers, and you’re unsure why.
😩
As much as you need a design overhaul, hiring a full-time designer just isn't feasible for your budget right now.
😩
Previous designers dropped the ball with mediocre work and missed deadlines. You need someone more reliable.
Let’s be honest.
A confusing and outdated interface is costing you potential customers. Users will try your product and leave without a second guess if your experience is mediocre.
Your product needs to:
Create a trustworthy & strong first impression
Provide an intuitive experience they enjoy using
Make them want to keep coming back
Have modern, polished UI that stands out
Make them achieve a sense of mastery
Demonstrate the value of a subscription
An outdated, clunky user experience is stunting your growth.
You know a design revamp is crucial, but hiring a full-time designer or dealing with hit-or-miss freelancers seems daunting.
The good news?
It doesn’t have to stay this way.

Testimonials
“Brendan is that incredibly rare designer who produces high-caliber design while remaining egoless and collaborative. The only reason we’re ending the engagement is that our devs can’t keep up, so I look forward to working with Brendan again in the future – and will miss him in the meantime!”

“Brendan is an incredibly talented and valuable designer, and it is not easy to find someone like that. I have worked with him in past roles, hiring him each time because he has proven not only to be a fantastic UX designer, deeply understanding the customer journey, but also incredibly easy to work with. He is communicative, responsive, and delivers iteratively. He is a dream to work with!”
“Brendan is a top performer for Torch, our NYC-based tech company. He consistently excels in all three key categories: design, performance, and communication. As just two examples, Brendan’s design work on our National Council of Nonprofits presentation deck was both timely and perfectly executed and his preparation of a recent client proposal helped Torch land our largest deal to date. I strongly recommend Brendan without reservation.”
“Brendan has helped us turn our software from a clunky, confusing experience into a clean and delightful one. He made suggestions to improve our ideas and took initiative to show us extra designs using his approach. We are definitely going to continue using his services as long as possible.”
“Hired Brendan to do some design work for our new startup, and was blown away by the result. He was very helpful throughout the entire experience, always there to answer if I had any questions. I would 100% recommend Brendan and will be looking to hire him again soon.”
“Working with Brendan was a wonderful experience. I have never met someone that I have worked with so far that has always been available to chat and who has worked so hard to complete a task. As we worked together, I have found a true and honest friend in Brendan. He speaks up when needed and will help anyone he works with in knowing what’s important and what not. This is something that every start-up needs as sometimes people don’t truly have your best interests in mind.”
“I’ve had websites designed and re-designed a number of times over the past few years and the work completed by Brendan has been top notch. It’s too bad I didn’t find him sooner, I would have saved myself a lot of time and effort along the way. Looking forward to working with Brendan on future projects.”
“After our initial call, he quoted me two weeks, and produced a very buttoned up, clear and concise contract. Payment terms were well defined and to be submit in piecemeal at predetermined project checkpoint. Brendan delivered, and was *extremely* communicative and prompt with design revisions. At the end of it all, he kindly produced a WordPress documentation guide to enable my partner and myself to early make edits ourselves. Brendan is 10/10 and will surely work with him again.”
“Consistently impressed by Brendan’s ability to produce excellent mobile designs. He is flexible, responsive and can be trusted to deliver on time.”
“Brendan works very professionally! The quality was great, and only one round of revisions was needed, and these were not really revisions/change but a couple of small additions, that Brendan worked into the design excellently. I’ve contracted with Brendan for two sprints/projects so far and will work again with him soon.”
“Brendan’s mockups were exceptional. His work demonstrates his strong ability to put himself in the user’s shoes in order to create the best user experience possible. Brendan follows-up after delivering the final product to ensure you have what you need in order to start developing. He receives my highest recommendation.”
FAQs
My current offerings include:
These are the outcomes you can expect:
Finding a reliable designer who specializes in SaaS is not only difficult but also risky. A full-time senior designer can easily exceed $140,000 per year, plus benefits. That’s quite an investment.
Additionally, you may not always have enough work to keep a full-time designer fully occupied.
Hey there! I’m Brendan, the founder of SaaS Designer. I’m not an agency, but a one-person design studio. When you work with SaaS Designer, you’re working directly with me, on a personal 1-to-1 basis. 😊
Be extremely wary of subscription agencies.
Firstly, they tend to limit you to one “active” task at a time, stretching tasks out to keep you subscribed as long as possible.
Another issue is their definition of ‘tasks.’
From my own experience working with some of these agencies, I’ve noticed that they often bottleneck progress for what should be minor changes.
For example, when you ask them for simple adjustments – such as changing the size of a font or the color of a button – these agencies treat them as separate “tasks” and will take up to three days to complete. They lack the incentive to speed things up, dragging out the timeline unnecessarily in order to keep you subscribed longer.
Finally, a lot of these agencies pass your projects to lower-cost designers or interns, often with communication barriers.
With me, you’re not getting your work outsourced to someone sitting around waiting for you to set the next “task”.
You’re working with a real, dedicated partner who starts tasks proactively, not someone who’s just ticking boxes.
In the words of Tom C., a former Product Lead at Google, “Brendan is that incredibly rare designer who produces high-caliber design while remaining egoless and collaborative.“
When you work with me, you receive my full attention, care, and availability to ensure the designs and solutions are exactly what you need. You won’t find this level of detail or service as personalized anywhere else.
Unlike some agencies that outsource to lower-cost designers or interns, I handle all projects directly, ensuring that every task meets high standards from start to finish.
I take initiative in starting tasks and pushing projects forward, so you don’t have to constantly check in or micromanage.
Finally, I bring over 8+ years of professional experience to the table, complemented by a Bachelor’s Degree in Interaction Design from an esteemed college in Ontario, Canada. My formal education spanned 4 years, where I consistently met project deadlines and graduated with honors. I’m not just another cookie-cutter designer who completed a design bootcamp or watched a couple YouTube videos.
I value your feedback on every design iteration I create.
I’ll continue to revise and iterate on your design until you’re 100% delighted with the results. No extra charges for making it right.
I use Figma for all design work – it’s versatile and perfect for collaborative efforts.
Yes! I built this website myself, and I can also build your website or landing page. Feel free to reach out to discuss your project in more detail!
I can start your project from scratch – no heavy lifting required on your part.
You tell me what you’re thinking, and I’ll help you strategize and lay out all the steps to make it a reality.
