Freelancers and clients needed a marketplace designed for how they actually work together — with money held safely until work is delivered, and a fair way to resolve disagreements.

How it was
engineered.
- 01
Built both sides of the marketplace — client and freelancer — on one shared data model.
- 02
Put escrow at the centre of the flow, so funds move only when milestones are approved.
- 03
Added an admin layer for moderation and dispute resolution from day one.
- 04
Later renamed the product from WorkOnGigs to GigFair and rebuilt it into a better version.
