Seedable Studio’s Post

Well, I've taken the plunge 🚀 Today is day two of being a full-time founder, running a full-stack design studio - PixelPass: https://lnkd.in/gkQSVMqC I'm incredibly excited for this next chapter. Going full-time on my own thing has been a goal of mine for many years. Over the last 13 years of my design career, I've worked with dozens of companies, shipped 100+ projects - and seen a lot of mediocrity. Most think that the design services space is crowded/saturated. But, the reality is it's just saturated by lazy designers and agencies that overpromise and under-deliver. We aren't competing with that. With PixelPass, I'm leveraging my 13 years of experience of leading design in the fast-paced startup ecosystem, and taking a different approach where we partner with our clients to achieve business objectives with creative design. I'm incredibly excited to work with innovative companies that value design to create world-class products, web experiences and brands. If you or anyone you know is looking to seriously level up their product, website or brand identity - I'd love to chat.

Even the best designers can’t create designs 👨🎨 … …that terrible content won’t ruin. I’ve noticed an interesting pattern. Often, even a week before launch, the apps we build still have the good old 'lorem ipsum' text everywhere and stock photos that the designers picked at the beginning of the project. 🤷♂️ For some reason, it’s just too easy to think that creating the final pieces of written content and imagery at the last minute is perfectly fine. I’ve made this mistake multiple times on our internal projects… 🙈 Not sure why, but it seems like many people, including myself, tend to procrastinate on this. The problem with that is, no matter how fantastic and expensive the UI design is, if the content isn’t equally high quality, it will completely destroy all previous design efforts, making the entire app feel cheap and clunky. Here’s what we do to minimise the chance of any last-minute content surprises: 🔸 One of the first things we build out in a project is the content editing capabilities. This way, the content editors and the developers can work simultaneously and iterate together. 🔸 We actively look for key pieces of content that will have the biggest impact on the perceived quality of the app. 🔸 Content has its own timeline, with milestones and room to iterate. Instead of treating it as the last step in a software project, it’s better to make it an ongoing part of the process. How do you handle content development in your dev project workflow? I’d love to know. #startups #softwaredevelopment #founders #technology #content

Exciting News – Creation Peak Studios is Open for Business! I’m thrilled to announce my new venture, Creation Peak Studios. We specialize in designing impactful websites and creating high-quality video content tailored to help small businesses grow and stand out. Creation Peak Studios was born out of my desire to use my tech experience as a product designer to support small businesses.

Starting my own studio also means having more control over my schedule and focusing on projects I’m passionate about. While I know there will be challenges ahead, I’m excited to take them on. 💡 FREE OFFER FOR YOU 💡 To kick things off, I’m offering a free Website Review consultation to any small business. I’ll personally review your website and provide honest, helpful feedback on user experience and design, plus suggestions to elevate your site.

𝑺𝒌𝒊𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑾𝒆𝒃 𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏 𝒊𝒔 𝑯𝒖𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒖𝒑’𝒔 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔!! I’ve seen multiple startups fall into the trap of hiring a developer straight away to build a website—without investing in web design first. While this may seem like a way to save time and money, it often leads to the opposite effect: project delays, endless revisions, and a harder-to-develop product. Here’s why skipping the design phase is a costly mistake: ❌ 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: Without a proper design, teams often have different ideas about what the final product should look like. This leads to back-and-forth revisions, which can be time-consuming and frustrating. ❌ 𝐈𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Developers end up making design decisions on the fly, often resulting in rework and miscommunication. This slows down the entire development process. ❌ 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐈𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬: Without thoughtful design upfront, the user experience suffers. Startups often miss the chance to gather early feedback, which means the final product might not meet user expectations. The Solution? Start with a design-first approach! 🖼️ Here’s how it can save time, money, and headaches: 💡 Clear Project Vision: A solid design gives everyone—from founders to developers—a shared vision of the final product, reducing confusion and speeding up development. 💡 Fewer Revisions: With a well-planned design, developers know exactly what they’re building, which means less backtracking and fewer costly revisions. 💡 Better User Experience: A design-first approach allows you to prototype, test, and iterate early, ensuring your product meets user needs from day one. 💡 Streamlined Development: Developers can focus on writing clean, efficient code because they’re not trying to figure out the design on the go. Tools like Figma make this approach even more powerful by enabling real-time collaboration between designers, developers, and stakeholders, so everyone stays on the same page. If you’re a startup founder or product manager, investing in web design first isn’t just smart—it’s essential for avoiding delays and building a product your users will love. #DesignFirst #StartupAdvice #WebDevelopment #UserExperience #ProjectManagement #Figma #DesignToDevelopment #EfficientWorkflows #ProductDesign #WebDesign

Lights on ✹ or off ✦? Trends come and go. This is especially true in web design. The industry jumps on any hype train it can find, only to notice that this train stops at the next station. Not with this trend, though… It has been popular for years now and is gaining more and more popularity. Mostly in my niche, tech companies and startups. Of course, I am talking about: ✽ Dark mode ✽ I definitely have a love-hate relationship with it. Let me explain. Dark mode designs have a lot of benefits if done correctly: ✽ Adds a premium touch to your brand ✽ Visually very pleasing ✽ Feels futuristic and modern rather than conservative and boring ✽ Visuals appear more vibrant and are highlighted ✽ Improved accessibility But like all things in life, it’s not just all positive. Here is where dark mode has its drawbacks (if done badly): ✽ Much harder to nail the design ✽ Brand consistency (not all visuals and colors are designed for dark mode) ✽ Bad psychological impact (less positive compared to light mode) ✽ Feels “strange” to some people ✽ Worse user experience on some platforms and devices So, as you can see, there are quite a handful of drawbacks. Personally, I have a dark mode website because it resonates more with my target audience (tech companies and startups), my branding revolves around it, and I wanted a radical change from my old light mode website. But ultimately, every brand should think about what they want to achieve and then decide what fits best for them. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. What team are you in? Team light or dark? _____________________ PS: If you are undecided between light or dark mode, slide into my DMs and I will help you choose what’s best for you. #techstartups #innnovation #webdesign #webdevelopment #webflow #techtrends #digitaltransformation

I am a mixture of exhausted, excited and happy at the public reveal of our new brand today, and the journey to come. Say hello to Upscale The younger version of myself would not understand or believe how fulfilling, meaningful and interesting it is to create a brand from scratch. I don't mean just the visuals. I mean the purpose, values, meaning, visual design, tone, all of it. There is a lot of reflection that goes in to this work. Another great learning experience for me. That makes revealing the brand to the world a little like showing off your baby - you hope people like it and understand what you are trying to do. In our case? Simple - craft apps that help people with everyday work. If we can make tomorrow just a little bit better than today, then we can go a long way. Follow us to find out where we go. Join us to help us get there. Or talk to us with your problems so our research leads us to a good place. #upscale #TheAdaptavistGroup

We will evaluate everything—from the user interface to the technical implementation—from both the customer's and developer's perspectives.
