I am passionate about Digital Products, especially how good design contributes to the overall Product Growth.
I started a traditional Design agency. One of my first clients just raised seed funding and was looking for a design and clickable prototype for an App.
He really liked what I delivered and then he came up with something very interesting. He asked me if I can sign him up on a flat monthly retainer in return for managing the entire ongoing design needs for this App as they were about to go into the development phase.
This is where the idea clicked to me. A productized service offering UI/UX Design only and hence Denovers was born. I will tell you guys how I added Frontend Development in my offering stack in the next post.
PS: Till now I have this client on retainer. We have re-iterated designs multiple times, have designed new features, done a lot of design workshops together - all in a flat monthly fee (fraction of cost of hiring in-house product design team).
