What I Worked On My Design Journey

Designing a complete product from scratch with no assets and limited time.

Research & Requirements Gathering

Collected requirements from the client and conducted competitive research to benchmark existing property platforms, identifying opportunities to improve and deliver a more effective user experience.

Brand Identity & Design System

Collaborated with the client on brand direction, curated a fitting color palette, and designed a font-based logo. Built a complete design system covering typography, colors, icons, and components as the foundation for the entire UI.

Wireframing & Information Architecture

Mapped out the structure of each page through wireframes — defining layout, content volume, and how each section connects before moving into high-fidelity design.

Customer-Facing UI Design

Designed the main property platform where end users can browse listings, apply filters, and compare properties ensuring the interface was intuitive, informative, and built to support confident decision-making.

Back Office & Admin UI Design

Designed a separate admin interface for the sales team to manage property listings enabling them to add, edit, and update information efficiently without relying on a developer.

Key Takeaways

My first freelance project with friends. A full end-to-end experience that taught me what real-world design work truly demands.

Contracts Matter More Than You Think

Freelance work goes beyond agreeing on a price. A proper contract should define revision limits, post-final change fees, and support hours. Without clear boundaries, scope creep becomes unavoidable. This project also highlighted the importance of accurate workload estimation, underpricing early reflected how much we underestimated the actual effort each deliverable required.

Wearing the PM Hat

Without a PO or PM to translate client needs, our team had to brainstorm, map user flows, and align everyone from scratch. Bridging the gap between UX/UI, frontend, and backend required constant communication and clarity. Starting from zero branding added even more to the scope, every asset had to be built from the ground up before design could even begin.

Timeline & Managing Expectations

Delivering a full product in under two months while everyone held full-time jobs. Demanded serious commitment outside working hours. Frequent follow-ups and last-minute change requests added pressure to an already tight schedule. The hardest part was helping the client understand that every visible element involves a complex process that takes time and careful execution.
