Behind the numbers
LISTEN. TEST. REFINE.

Better onboarding,
one iteration at a time.

Three months of user testing and improvements took onboarding conversion from 30% to 90%. Customer feedback continued to shape the interface, features, and design system.

BUILD A PRODUCT THAT LASTS.

Design meets
product growth.

App Store Search and Browse optimization grew monthly downloads from 50 to 3,000. Six to eight months of pricing experiments helped OneTap reach more than $2,500 in monthly revenue.

I’m AJ, a senior product designer at MartianCraft and an independent app founder based in Fier, Albania.

I like the whole process: understanding the problem, finding the simplest interaction, obsessing over the details, and getting it into people’s hands.

At MartianCraft, I design native iPhone and iPad experiences with teams of developers and project managers. In my own products, I connect that design work with SwiftUI, launch, and growth.

A LITTLE OFF-SCREEN

Former NCAA basketball captain and 1,000-point scorer. I also played overseas in Albania for two years, averaging 22 points per game. Still bringing the same teamwork and persistence to everything I make.
