About

Lawrence Francis is a product designer and creative director from Nigeria, working across UX, brand and motion. He designs the brand and the product, then builds it, so nothing is lost in a handoff. His work spans fintech, healthtech, ecommerce, Web3 and AI-assisted tools for teams who need the thinking and the execution from one person.

Clarity

P.01

Clear Communication

I keep things simple and direct, so you always know what is being designed, what is done, and what comes next. No status theatre, no waiting a week to find out a decision was never made.

What that looks like

  • Written decisions
  • Named next steps
  • Shared timelines
  • One thread
  • Honest estimates

Strategy

P.02

Strategy Before Pixels

I start with your goals, audience and constraints, then move through structure and wireframes into polished, on-brand design. The visual work is the last mile, not the first guess.

Before any design

  • Goals and limits
  • Audience research
  • Site structure
  • Wireframes
  • Brand direction

Craft

P.03

Built For Real Use

I think beyond the mockup and focus on how things behave in real workflows, real edge cases and real products. A screen that only works with perfect data is not finished.

Designed for

  • Empty states
  • Loading states
  • Long content
  • Small screens
  • Accessibility

Speed

P.04

Fast, Steady Execution

AI-assisted workflows take me from idea to a working prototype in days, without trading away polish. You see something real early, and it keeps getting better rather than appearing at the end.

How it ships

  • Working prototypes
  • Framer sites
  • Design systems
  • Motion design
  • Handoff or hosting
