Overview

I partnered with Konnekt to bring this vision to life from refining the brand identity to designing a scalable, responsive platform. Our work included UX research, information architecture, UI design, and custom interactions that made browsing and hiring feel intuitive. Every design decision was made to reduce time-to-hire and build trust with both clients and talent.
Konnekt set out to simplify the way product, UX, and brand teams connect with top-tier design talent. As the freelance market grew increasingly saturated and unvetted, the team saw an opportunity to build a curated, high-trust platform tailored to startups and fast-moving companies. The goal? A frictionless way to find and hire exceptional creatives without the usual complexity.

The Challenge

Konnekt aimed to position itself as a trusted design talent platform, but it entered a market crowded with freelance networks, generic job boards, and talent marketplaces with bloated UX. The challenge was to carve out a distinct identity while building a user journey that felt faster, smarter, and more human.

The Solution

To address the friction in user experience, we redesigned the Konnekt platform around two distinct user journeys — one for clients and one for designers. Instead of a generic homepage, users now land on a focused hero section that immediately offers two clear paths: “I’m Hiring Designers” and “I’m Looking for Work.” This segmentation ensures each audience reaches relevant content without unnecessary steps or confusion.
