I design Sarah Kehayil-Valette products people understand the first time.

I'm Sarah, a Product Designer with 5 years of experience. I take products from user interviews to shipped screens, side by side with PMs and engineers. As the only designer on my team at Mobsuccess, I cut drop-off on the core flow by 28%. Next, I want to design apps people use in their everyday lives.

02 — How I work

If a design needs explaining, it isn't done yet.

So I start with the people using it. I watch where they get stuck, ask why, and bring what I find to the PM and engineers early, so we choose the fix together. Then I ship it and check the numbers to see if it worked.

  1. 28%

    less drop-off on the core flow at Mobsuccess, after a redesign based on user research.

  2. 100+

    screens for Danks, a consumer mobile app I designed as the only designer, in an 8-week sprint.

  3. 5

    client products in 16 months at an agency, with a new team and a new problem every few months.

03 — Work

Three projects, three very different teams.

A platform people use every day, a consumer app built from scratch, and five client products in sixteen months.

    Making a tool people use every day easier to learn

    Media and data teams use Mobsuccess every day to set up and run campaigns, but new users needed several sessions before they could work on their own. As the only designer on the team, I found where people got stuck and redesigned the flows that mattered most.

    • −28% drop-off on the core flow
    • AI assistant shipped to every user, each use case validated with real users

    Danks: a creator app, designed in 8 weeks

    A mobile app that connects content creators with brands in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. I was the only designer, working directly with the founder: research, flows, every screen, usability tests and the launch site.

    • 100+ screens in an 8-week design sprint
    • iOS app and launch site shipped
    • Tested with creators before handoff

    Tobogan: five client products in sixteen months

    A new client every few months, from founders starting from scratch to software teams growing fast. I ran discovery workshops with each client's team, then designed their product through to handoff.

    • 5 client products in 16 months
    • About 3 months per project
    • Fleet management, finance reporting, energy and more

04 — What people say

From the people I've worked with.

My managers at Mobsuccess and Tobogan Agency.

Sarah structured user flows and wireflows, then translated them into concrete interfaces — which made alignment with Product and Tech straightforward and the build efficient.
Rosanora LamHead of Design · Mobsuccess
Sarah ran the discovery workshops with our clients herself — framing the problem with their stakeholders before any design started, and coming back with a direction the room had already agreed to. That is why I could hand her a client and stop worrying about it.

05 — On the side

Small apps I build for myself, to keep learning.

I design and code these on my own, usually to fix something that bugs me. Some are live, one is just for me, one is still in progress.

  1. 01Job Offer Analyzer[Live]Paste a tech job ad and get a quick read: the real level behind the title, the warning signs in the wording, and good questions to ask the recruiter. I designed and built it myself.Next.js · Vercel
  2. 02Travel companion app[Private]A small app to plan trips, note each day as it happens, and keep saved places from one trip to the next. I built it for myself, so it stays private.Next.js · Tailwind · Vercel
  3. 03BingeClub[WIP]A film and series tracker I started when TV Time stopped being worth opening. A watchlist, ratings and what to watch next. No ads, no feed. Still in progress.React · Vite · Vercel

Things on my mind

Lately reading
Feel-Good Productivity by Ali Abdaal. The idea that stuck with me: discipline alone doesn't get things done, the energy you bring to the work does.
Lately thinking about
How products earn trust. The AI tools I keep using show where an answer came from, and say “I'm not sure” when they aren't. They're far easier to use than the ones that just answer.
