Oh hey, I'm a big fan!

I think while others have commented on how beautiful your creations are, I rather admire you for the care and detail you put on UI. Beautiful things are not always easy to use, and things that are well-laid-out and easy-to-use are not always beautiful. You have somehow arrived at the magical place where you've got them both down.




Thank you, I'm glad you like it! I try to find a good balance between form and function, and create a consistent environment for the customer. The homepage is definitely more "artistic" than the dashboard, for instance, but hopefully they clearly belong to the same brand and give you a similar look and feel.

(For the anecdote and because you mentioned it, it always annoyed me that we had a pretty different visual language at Stripe between the site and the dashboard. I designed Stripe's homepage but not its dashboard, whereas I did both at the same time for Increase. Consistency is really hard to achieve between multiple products as the optimal visual treatment is different for a site and an information-dense UI.)
