2026 — Product Designer

VinculoDesigner matching platform

An AI service that matches clients with the right designer and keeps the whole project, from brief to payment, in one place. I designed it and built the live MVP.

Stop searching for a designer

Get matched with the right one

Problem
Clients scroll through hundreds of freelancers with no guarantee of quality. Designers drown in competition with no guarantee of work.
Solution
An AI service that matches each client with the right designer by task, experience, budget and timeline, then keeps the whole project, from brief to payment, in one place.
Result
Designed and shipped a live MVP at vinculo.art, built with Claude Code.

Post a brief, get matched, pay when it's done.Designing the whole life of a project, from the first brief to the final payment, so both sides always know what happens next.

[product structure]

Vinculo follows one project from start to finish. Before the hire, a brief turns into a verified match with a backup on standby. During the project, everything lives in one workspace. After delivery, payment, rating and rehire close the loop.
