Hello, I'm Brendan! 👋

Thanks for stopping by to learn a bit more about what I do.

Over the past 8 years, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with dozens of SaaS companies and ambitious founders, helping them transform their product visions into reality.

From early-stage startups to established B2B companies, my goal is simple: to create user experiences that drive growth and keep users coming back for more.

I was 16 years old.

It all began when I got my hands on Photoshop as a teenager.

Like many teenagers that age, I used to play a lot of video games.

I ended up building an online forum for Call of Duty fans, and, to my surprise, it took off.

The site was reaching around 200,000+ unique visitors per month, and the whole experience was a crash course in web design and management.

Eventually, I sold the website for a nice sum, but by then, I had already found my true passion – design. In those early days, I was creating everything from ad banners to custom graphics for my websites in Photoshop, and I genuinely loved the process of designing.

I realized that I wasn’t just into gaming – I was into the art of creating something that people could use and interact with.

After high school, I decided to turn that passion into a career. I pursued a Bachelor’s Degree in Interaction Design at a college in Ontario, Canada, where I spent 4 years honing my skills.

During those years, I not only improved my design skills but also started freelancing on the side, building up real client experience while juggling a full course load. 

Despite the demands of both school and work, I maintained a high GPA and graduated with Honours.

College was a transformative experience – it helped me bridge the gap between basic web design and the more complex world of product design, specifically for web and mobile apps.

After graduation, I fully committed to freelancing and never looked back.

I’ve helped founders who were just starting out and didn’t know where to begin, as well as more established companies that needed expert design input to move faster and scale.

What started as building forums and playing around with graphics has evolved into a full-time career where I get to help businesses grow through thoughtful, user-centered design.

Today, I specialize in UX/UI design for B2B SaaS companies.

That means I focus on creating software that not only looks great but solves real-world problems for your business and users.

Over the years, I’ve worked with a range of clients, including:

– Early to mid-stage tech companies that need help tackling ongoing design challenges.

– Developers with side projects who need a design partner to elevate their product to the next level.

– Startup founders who have a great idea but need help turning that vision into something tangible.

I love what I do.

For me, design isn’t just a job. It’s about continuous improvement. There’s a Japanese concept called “Kaizen,” which translates to “good change” or “improvement.”

I love this idea because it perfectly sums up my philosophy – great design is never static. It’s always evolving, and I’m constantly looking for ways to refine and improve what I do.

I’m obsessed with learning and growing, which means you’re always getting my best work – work that’s not just good today but will adapt and improve as your product evolves.

When I’m not working with clients, I’m busy building side projects like SaaS Gems, where I curate interesting new SaaS tools each week, and SaaS AI Tools, which earned the top spot as #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt.

Beyond that, I’m always reading and learning – constantly exploring new techniques and ideas to keep sharpening my skills and pushing my craft forward.

I’m not just a designer who watched a few tutorials or took a bootcamp; I’ve been living and breathing design since my teenage years, and I’m passionate about delivering results that help businesses grow.

Early to Mid-Stage B2B Tech Companies – You’ve got ongoing design challenges and need an expert to keep the momentum going.

Startup Founders – You’ve got an exciting product idea but need help turning that vision into a functional, beautifully designed product.

Developers with a Side Project – You’re building something special, but you need a design partner to bring it to the next level.

If you’re looking for someone who can deliver high-quality design without the hand-holding, I’m your guy.

Tom C., a former Product Lead at Google, once said, “Brendan is that incredibly rare designer who produces high-caliber design while remaining egoless and collaborative.”

Here are more reasons:

• I’m an easy-going person to work with and can write & communicate effectively – something you’re going to value a lot when it comes to actually working on a design project together.
• Unlike agencies that will delegate your important projects to less experienced designers or interns, I handle every project directly, guaranteeing high-quality outcomes consistently. You won’t need to micromanage; I take the initiative to move projects forward efficiently and effectively.
• 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.
• I do this full-time, for a living. That means you’re working with a real professional who takes this very seriously; somebody who is great with timelines, people, and project management.
• 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.

Fully fleshed-out user flows that give your product structure and clarity, even if you’re starting from scratch.

High-fidelity interface designs that get you excited to launch your product and show it off to investors, customers, or stakeholders.

Clear communication that ensures you understand why every design decision is made, helping you feel confident in the process and the outcome.

Here are just a few of the things I’ve done that differentiates me from others:

• Worked with dozens of clients across the world, with previous managers from Google, Destructoid, ADL, and more.
• Won top awards from Product Hunt – 1st place, 3rd place, and more, etc.
• Successfully shipped and launched dozens of side projects: SaaS AI Tools, SaaS Prompts, SaaS Boilerplates, and many more.
• Singlehandedly grew an email list to 15,000+ email subscribers.
• Built an audience on LinkedIn (2,200+ followers), X (2,500+ followers) and Product Hunt (4,000+ followers).
• Graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Interaction Design from a college in Ontario, Canada.

When you work with me, you’re not just hiring someone to design UX/UI experiences from scratch – you’re getting a lot more. Here’s what else I bring to the table:

• A skilled project manager who will handle project scoping, planning, and estimations, ensuring everything stays on track.
  
• A web and marketing designer who can deliver everything from landing pages to fully functional WordPress websites that convert.
  
• A copywriter with native-level English, so you won’t have to worry about poorly written microcopy or awkward communication.
  

• Prefer a proactive, results-focused approach.
• Understand that design is an iterative process, always evolving and improving.
• Value clear, thoughtful communication and feedback.
• Prioritize tangible outcomes over mere hours spent.
• Can and prefer to work asynchronously.
