UX/UI design, web development and SEO

Desia
Lab

For brands that are ready to scale.

I design and build Shopify stores and Framer websites that look like the brand behind them and are structured to be found.
Based in Italy, working worldwide.

I build websites that feel like the business behind them.
And do the work of turning the right people into clients.

What I do

Eight years leading global organic growth in Berlin,
now applied to web design and development.
I build sites for brands that want their website to do a job: sell, convert, and rank.

Your business has a story worth telling.
I turn your vision into something that captures who you are and speaks to your clients.

A site that feels unmistakably, purposefully, honestly you.

UX/UI design & SEO

Structure before pixels. Sitemaps built on real search data, Figma design systems your developers can use, and SEO that runs in parallel with the design instead of after it.

Every project starts with the right questions.
Let's ask them together.

The mindset behind every frame, shaped by curiosity and intention.

Different projects, same approach: structure, design, search.

Because every project is unique.

Shared Perspective

The values I stand by

Understanding

Before I design anything, I make sure I actually get it — your business, your clients, what you're trying to say and to whom. That depth is what makes the difference.

Craft

Every element serves a purpose — whether that's structure, feeling, or both. Nothing is there by accident. Everything is part of something bigger.

Meaning

I don't take on projects I don't believe in. Purpose has to be there — when it is, everything else falls into place.
