Hi! I’m María Alejandra Cifuentes (MaleCe), a passionate digital creative. I design digital concepts that are not just memorable, but also truly connect with people.
Efficient, optimized products for your users. Here’s the work I do:
The right tools are key, and I know how to leverage each one:
I design functional, shippable products:
With over 11 years of experience as a product designer, I specialize in creating user-centric and data-driven solutions that meet business objectives and enhance user satisfaction. I have a strong background in UX research, UX design, UI design, and design systems, as well as a keen interest in new technologies and innovation.
I usually work on B2C software, that's my forte--where I shine best. But I also have about 15 B2B software products in my portfolio. I do end-to-end product design + branding.
I only charge hourly for my ongoing projects that need work on the regular. One-time projects are charged upfront to keep it transparent and clean! My hourly rate is $25.
I work Pacific Standard Time, but I'm always ready to help out in emergencies, no matter the hour.
Depends on the scope of the project, really. Some projects take less than a week. Some take months. The best way to find out is to get on a quick call with me, and discuss it. No strings attached!
I quote a price upfront--so that you know exactly what you're paying and for what, and there are no surprises later. The exact cost of your project depends on the scope and requirements!
I take a problem-forward approach. Whether we're iterating on an existing product or building a new one from scratch, how to solve the user's problem in the simplest way possible is my first concern.
Send me an email to understand my process in depth!
The best metrics are customer adoption, happiness, task success, and engagement. There are a number of frameworks such as the System Usability Scale that help us understand product performance and I'm happy to help with that.
I always make sure to help out my clients one month after the project ends, for free. For any help post that, we can work out an ongoing arrangement!
