Hi, I’m Maya Okafor.
I design and build templates for websites, Notion, and Figma. One person, a slow laptop, and a fairly stubborn set of opinions about what makes something worth using.
Replace this with a photo of you. A real one, shot in daylight, mildly unflattering.
I started making templates because I kept solving the same problems for different clients and getting tired of it. The fix was to build the thing once, properly, and then share it.
I care about the parts people skip: empty states, error messages, what happens when a title is forty characters long. A template is only good if it holds up when real content shows up.
Things I use

A short history
- 2017 Left an agency job to freelance. Learned that most design problems are editing problems.
- 2021 Built my first reusable kit for a client and realized I had been solving the same problem every quarter.
- 2023 Sold the first template. Priced it too low. Kept the receipt anyway.
- 2024 Started selling templates properly and writing about the work instead of just posting the results.
- 2026 Still one person, still testing everything on the slow laptop.
Work with me
I take two custom projects a quarter. Usually a site that needs to be built properly, sometimes a design kit for a team. Tell me what you are making and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person.
