A cyber insurance finder that really helps SMBs
DataStream was struggling to convert new customers from their website.

As a result, DataStream’s conversions increased by 44%.
A multidisciplinary UX/UI Designer for Mazingday
As a team of 5, Mazingday needed someone to fill the delicate role of solo Designer. A UX/UI Designer able to wear many different hats and help them scale their design ops in the future. With 5 years in UX and a strong background in Graphic Design, startup environment and freelancing, Tamara was the ideal candidate.

An MVP for a stealth HR Tech startup
The startup needed a prototype to show investors and potential clients. With meetings already lined up, we had 6 weeks to design a clickable prototype for the CEO to demo his vision for the product. In under a week, we put together a team of two UX/UI Designers and a Sr. UX Consultant to carry out the project.
A powerful website and pitch deck for Shipday
