what i do
i'm milovan erić. i design products for ai and web3 startups, mostly so they can ship faster and look like a real company by the time they go raise. i'm from serbia, but i'm rarely in one place for long, so wherever you are, we're probably in a reasonable timezone.
most of the work happens through my studio, mylo labs. we do product design from first conversation to launch, and a bit of branding when it's needed. dapps, trading platforms, dashboards. sometimes just a landing page that has to work.
one thing that matters to me a lot: we start with the problem, not the interface. the questions we ask before opening a design tool are the actual work, and they're what stops you from building the wrong thing beautifully. i'll push back when something doesn't make sense. the founders we work best with expect that.
roughly what it costs:
(a) landing page, $7,999,
(b) product, $12,999.
those numbers are fixed and all inclusive. there is no separate line for research, design, or anything else, and there is no "starting at". you know the number before we start.
i've been around technology since building games and mods as a kid. i bought bitcoin in 2014 and sold it far too early. in 2020 i went all in on web3 and haven't looked back.
what i'm not
i'm not quiet. if a flow doesn't make sense, i'll say so, and i'll keep saying so until we either fix it or you convince me i'm wrong. both happen.
i'm not going to design something i wouldn't use. that rules out a decent amount of web3, and i'm fine with that.
i'm not going to give you "something like uniswap but blue". if that's where you're starting, that's fine, most people start there. but by the end you'll have something that's yours, or i haven't done my job.
and i'm not an agency with a rotating team. you get me, and you keep getting me, from the first call to the last file.
thought
selected works
this is a small slice. there are a lot more projects i can't or don't want to dump here. ask, and i'll send whatever's relevant to what you're building.
how it works
first call. you talk, i listen. what you're building, who it's for, where it's stuck. no pitch from my side, i just want to understand the thing before i say whether i can help.
discovery. a day, sometimes a few, depending on the project. i go through the product, the market, the flows, and come back with what i think the actual problem is. this part is free. if we agree on what needs to happen, we start. if we don't, you've lost nothing and probably gained a clearer picture.
the work. i ship daily. every day you get an update on what moved, what's open, and what i need from you. no two-week silence and then a big reveal.
paying for it. it's a retainer, and the first week is no commitment. if it's not working for you, you walk away at the end of the week and that's the end of it. no explanations needed.
how long. i don't give timelines up front, on purpose. every time i've done that, it's been either wrong or a reason to cut corners. once discovery is done, you'll have a real number.
how to reach me
i'm open to new projects right now.
the best way to reach me:
(a) hi@erameister.com,
(b) on telegram, @erameister,
(c) or on x, @ericmilovan,
email is the slowest of the three but the one i answer most carefully. telegram is the fastest.
if you're writing about a project, the three most useful things to include are what you're building, roughly when you need it, and roughly what you've set aside for it. even approximate answers let me tell you quickly whether i'm the right person for it, which is the part i care about most.
