Design & Grow 🌱 | March 2025 Design Partnerships


Hi Reader 👋,

This week's newsletter is a break from typical content. Instead of writing a "thought piece" or "design insights", I'm plugging my services. :)

I'm opening a limited number of project partnerships for March 2025, and I wanted my newsletter community to hear about it first.

What You Get:

  • A strategic design partner who combines MBA-level analysis with hands-on UX expertise
  • Digital experiences that work seamlessly across every screen
  • Results-driven success focused on measurable outcomes
  • A reliable single point of contact throughout your project

The Process: We start with an initial review to align on vision and goals, move through discovery and strategic planning, then into design, build, and launch - with clear communication at every step.

Know someone who might be interested? Forward this their way!

Want to chat about your Q1/Q2 2025 goals? Reply to this email or book a call.

(Only taking 2-3 new projects to ensure each partnership gets dedicated attention.)

Until next week,
Kristi

Hi Reader 👋, Last week, I built a website that intentionally breaks fundamental design principles. The result? A deliberately chaotic interface that rejects hierarchy, proximity, contrast, and structure. This experiment specifically challenged Gestalt principles – the fundamental laws that describe how our brains organize visual information. These principles (like proximity, similarity, and continuity) have shaped design for decades because they reflect how we naturally process information....

Hi Reader 👋, This week’s newsletter is about practicing empathy in design. Why? Because the world could use a bit more empathy. Empathy shapes design by helping us see beyond surface needs to create meaningful solutions. When we understand our users’ real challenges and goals, we build products that truly serve them. Good design solves problems. Empathetic design prevents them. Understanding user contexts early leads to natural solutions that drive engagement and loyalty - not through more...
