Commission Work
Product design services for teams building chat, community, and social platforms.
Currently Available
I take on new product design engagements focused on chat, community, and social platforms. My work centers on the systems that make these spaces function—how people organize themselves, who can do what, and how trust scales as communities grow. If you're building something in this space and need design thinking grounded in real constraints, let's talk.
What Can Be Commissioned
Community Platform Structure
Channel hierarchies, organizational patterns, and spatial logic that scale from small groups to large networks. How information flows, where conversations live, and why.
Role and Permission Systems
Role design that matches your community's actual needs. Permissions frameworks that grant the right actions to the right people without creating bureaucratic friction.
Access Flows and Invitations
Onboarding sequences, invite codes, and access controls. How new members enter your space, what they see first, and how gating works without alienating people.
Moderation and Trust Systems
Tools for keeping communities healthy. Flag workflows, reporting interfaces, and visibility into what moderators can see and act on.
Administrator Dashboards
Audit logging, member management views, and administrative overview. The control plane that lets community leaders understand what's happening and act.
Platform Architecture and Specification
Design documentation that translates product thinking into buildable specifications. Clear reasoning about why things are structured the way they are.
How an Engagement Starts
Initial Conversation
Send a short description of your community or product—what you're building, who's in it, and what problem you're trying to solve with design.
Discovery Discussion
We have a detailed conversation about your specific needs: what roles exist in your space, how access should work, what moderation challenges you're facing, and what success looks like.
Proposal and Scope
I'll outline a clear scope of work, timeline, and approach specific to your project. No surprises—you'll know exactly what's included and why.
Design and Delivery
Iterative design work, documentation, and handoff. You'll have artifacts and reasoning you can work from with your development team.
