Gumroad x Cosmin

Hi Gumroad 👋 I’m Cosmin.

I’m a designer and content creator living in Berlin, Germany - currently working as Senior Product Designer at Kittl.


For the past 15 years I’ve been helping companies around the world look better and increase revenue.

Soundcloud. Mindbloom. Recess. Eurosport. Discovery. Vimeo. Studs. Verizon. Recess. DeleteMe. Havenly. Moons. Brandfolder. IGK. ReadyRocker. Sonder. Autodesk.

Why did I apply?

1. I'm a Gumroad user and made money through the platform (thanks for that). Joining and having the chance to shape it would make for a pretty cool story.

Sales

Total Revenue

1,132

$5,356.34

2. The idea of working on completely new products while being part of their growth and helping them get better day by day is fun to me.

+ 1000 more?

3. When I told my girlfriend about the way working at Gumroad might look like she said that it sounds like a scam. So I'd like to prove her wrong of course.

2. Optimizing the mobile app

Before

After

Thousands of templates are selected by users every day and on the current Kittl app the experience on mobile was not optimized.

In the updated design we wanted for the focus to be on the actual template, so it was very important to optimize the use of space.

- Buttons were too small

- Increased the size of buttons to make it easy to tap

- In terms of hierarchy the user is at the top, leading to interaction

- Moved the template preview at the very top

- Once you scroll down, you can't take action anymore

- Sticky button at the bottom of the screen

3. Improving the design experience

Before

After

Finding the right font for your design was a bit hard as you had to select each one and there was no way of saving your favourite ones.

See the font changes in real-time on hover and save it for future use.
