DORIS NGAJU

Hi, I’m Doris. I design and build products from 0 - 1, I love to make websites fun, and explore whatever sparks my creative curiosity and I’ve been doing this for the past 5 years.

In my 9-5 I design and ship products at Piggyvest (opens in a new tab), and in my 5-9 I’m building Everdraft to help creative teams manage feedback

Available for new projects or collaborations

Everdraft

Everdraft was born from witnessing firsthand the creative chaos of managing briefs, files and feedback across Slack, WhatsApp and scattered workflows. It explores a better way for creative teams to collaborate, keep projects organised and manage feedback from brief to final delivery.

Side note: I've changed this project's name about four times. First it was Jam, then Moondraft, and now Everdraft (although I'm already considering changing it to Jelly 🫠). At this point, I'm open to suggestions. If you want to rub minds on the idea, or just chat about the project, feel free to reach out.

Kickoff UI generates 100+ color tokens in both light and dark modes, 95 text styles across a growing collection of fonts, Responsive typography with text sizes formatted for both mobile and desktop breakpoints, Spacing variables to help keep layouts consistent, Border radius variables for consistent corners across your UI.
