Upwork • Freelance

Jan 2023 - Present • 3 yrs 4 mos

Founder and CEO of ThinkNova Design, a web design and CRO agency helping founders, startups, and growing brands turn their websites into high-converting growth assets. I lead a team of senior designers, developers, and SEO specialists delivering UX/UI design, conversion rate optimization, landing page design, and full website builds across Framer, Webflow, and WordPress. Over the years we've shipped websites and conversion-focused projects for clients across SaaS, AI, ecommerce, real estate, professional services, and tech, from early-stage startups to established brands scaling their digital presence. What sets ThinkNova apart: every project is built around conversion logic and user behavior, not aesthetic preference. We treat the website as a revenue channel, not a portfolio piece. My role spans strategy, design direction, client relationships, and operations. I work directly with founders and marketing leads to align design decisions with business outcomes.
