The Big Catch-Up
First email — catching up on years of life and work.

“I’m amazed. Unbelievable. Everything was done so fast and the quality of the insights from the user validation is incredible.”
— Bartosz, Co-founder, Research Tech

“Shortest design cycle available on the market. Charlie is a master of communication, so working with him is not only very effective, but also a real pleasure.”
— Szymon Sypniewicz, Co-founder of Ramp Network

“In a mere two weeks, they took a high-level concept and turned it into a visually stunning leaderboard app that delights our users. As a small, highly technical team, we found that because they were able to own all the design, UI/UX and front-end engineering related to the project, it allowed us to concentrate on back-end and data engineering, where our strengths lie.”
— Mike, Co-founder, Hummingbot

“We found Charlie by searching for the Ramp designer — we needed someone who actually understood fintech UX. His user testing caught what we never would have: users freezing on the first screen, not understanding why verification was needed. Insights that would have killed adoption. He delivered it all in production-ready code we could integrate directly — no Figma translation, no months of back-and-forth. His work was instrumental to securing our next round of funding.”
— Philipp Toth, Founder, Paid247
I run a product studio building tools. I take on select client sprints to fund it — typically one to four week UX and product design engagements shipped in code. Browse the client case studies. 2026 availability. Below is everything else: personal projects, apps I'm building, and a few stories from along the way.
I'm trying to keep in touch without social media — personal updates on what I'm building and where I am.
