Your CTO, developer, or founder still owns every UX decision, and it's slowing the team.
Ongoing
Design ownership without a full-time designer.
Fractional product design for small SaaS teams: strategy, UX, and handoff-ready visual work each month, without hiring a full design team.

Velocity under complexity
Someone owns journeys when simple pages aren't enough anymore.
Less leadership burden
Day-to-day design moves forward without constant founder or technical escalation.
Proof you can evaluate
Business-context recommendations and handoff-ready visual work each month.
Process
How it works
Step 01

Fit
Is this for you?
3-5 person SaaS teams
Product in market, no designer, and a founder or technical lead still owns design by default.
Teams with one junior designer
You need senior product design leadership without a full-time hire.
UI-heavy products
The experience is the product. Design decisions directly affect adoption and retention.

FAQ
Common questions
What is the difference between the three tiers?
Product Advisory is guidance and direction with lighter execution. Product Design Partner adds recurring design sprints and hands-on UX work each month. Embedded Product Partner is deeper ownership for teams that need senior partnership at higher capacity.
Is there a minimum commitment?
We typically start with a one-month pilot on the partner tier so both sides can confirm fit. Advisory and embedded engagements are scoped month to month with clear priorities agreed upfront.
How much work fits in a month?
Capacity depends on the tier and your roadmap. We align on a small set of priorities each month rather than unlimited output. The focus is ownership and progress on what moves the product forward.
When is a Velocity Scan a better fit than partnership?
Use a Velocity Scan when you need a clear diagnosis of why feature work is slow before you commit. Choose partnership when the product keeps evolving and you need someone to own product design end-to-end as you ship.
Do we need a full-time designer?
Usually not at this stage. Fractional ownership is often enough when engineering velocity is still moderate. You need someone who owns product design decisions, not a full department.
How do we know if it's a fit?
We start with a one-month pilot on the partner tier. You evaluate on real output: business understanding and visual work, not portfolio alone.
