About

Hi, I'm Angela. Nice to meet you.

I'm a senior UX/UI designer based in Madison, AL, finishing my last stretch of college. I started AC Studios to take on clients at rates that make sense for small teams, indie creators, and scrappy startups, and these days I'm not doing it alone: we're a small crew of freelancers who team up project by project. That's the whole pitch. You get someone who consulted on UX for Red Dead Redemption 2 at Rockstar, tested Fortnite at Epic, and designed enterprise products at Amazon and Mayo Clinic, without the agency markup that usually comes with that resume.

The Team

The crew behind the work.

AC Studios is a small crew of independent freelancers who team up project by project. You get a full crew: strategy, art, design, and someone keeping it all on schedule, without paying agency overhead for the privilege.

Cassandra Jeremie, scrum master at AC Studios

Cassandra Jeremie she/her

Scrum Master

Cassandra is the reason your project actually lands when we said it would. She runs our sprints, keeps the schedule honest, and makes sure nothing quietly falls off the list between the kickoff call and launch day.

Kace Universe, artist at AC Studios

Artist

Illustration and visual direction. Kace takes a half-formed idea about how your brand should feel and turns it into actual artwork, the kind people stop scrolling for. She's the reason our projects look like someone made them on purpose.

Madji Jerrick, junior UX/UI designer at AC Studios

Madji Jerrick he/him

Junior UX/UI Designer

Madji works on layouts, components, and all the small details that decide whether a site feels finished or just done. He's early in his career and he sweats the details, which is exactly the energy you want on your project.

How this works: we're freelancers, not an agency with a payroll to cover. We come together around the projects that need us, which is exactly why the pricing stays reasonable. Every project still runs through me, so you always know who's accountable.

What We Do

What we can help you with.

We keep the client list small so every project actually gets real attention. You work with me directly from first call to launch, and I pull in the right people when a project needs art, interface work, or a tighter schedule than one person can hold.

UX / UI Design

Research, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, design systems, and dev-ready Figma files. I've done this for Amazon and Mayo Clinic. Your app deserves the same thinking at a price that won't make you cry.

Deliverables Research summary, user flows, wireframes, hi-fi screens, interactive prototype, annotated Figma handoff file
Timeframe 2 - 6 weeks depending on scope
Figma Design Systems Prototyping User Research

Web Design

Custom websites on Wix, Squarespace, or hand-coded. Perfect for small businesses, breweries, shops, or anyone whose current site is embarrassing them. You'll leave with something you're proud to share.

Deliverables Wireframes, full site build, mobile-responsive layout, CMS training, launch-ready handoff with documentation
Timeframe 1 - 4 weeks depending on page count
Wix Squarespace HTML/CSS CMS Handoff

Game UI Design

HUDs, menus, inventory, in-world UI. I've worked on Red Dead Redemption 2 and Fortnite, and I also shipped my own game on Steam. Indie devs especially: we know your constraints and we won't blow your budget.

Deliverables UI mockups, component sheets, HUD layouts, state designs (idle, active, damaged), Unity-ready asset exports
Timeframe 1 - 5 weeks depending on system complexity
HUD Design Unity Menu Systems Indie-Friendly

UX Audit

Got a product that's confusing people or just not converting? We'll go through it with fresh eyes, document every friction point, and give you a prioritized list of exactly what to fix and why. No fluff, no jargon.

Deliverables Recorded walkthrough, annotated screenshots, prioritized issue list (critical / moderate / nice-to-have), quick-win recommendations
Timeframe 3 - 5 business days
Heuristic Review Usability Testing Conversion Quick Turnaround

Design System / Component Library

A design system is the best investment you can make if you're building something that's going to keep growing. We'll build you a reusable component library in Figma your whole team can work from, consistently.

Deliverables Token system (color, type, spacing), full component library, usage documentation, auto-layout ready Figma file
Timeframe 2 - 4 weeks depending on component count
Figma Tokens Components Documentation

Strategy & Consulting

Sometimes you don't need a full project, you just need an hour with someone who's seen a lot and can cut through the noise. Bring your messy problem, your half-baked idea, or your "am I even thinking about this right?" questions.

Deliverables 60-min recorded session, written summary of recommendations, action item list, optional follow-up async review
Timeframe Book within 1 week, output same day
1-on-1 Product Strategy Roadmapping Fast
