Senior UI/UX, Framer & Branding
Without Agency Overhead
Skip months of recruiting and bloated agency fees. Get direct 1-on-1 access to a dedicated senior lead delivering production-ready design at startup velocity.
Product Velocity Dies in the Gap Between Hiring Drag and Agency Overhead
Founders need high-craft execution today, but existing options force impossible tradeoffs between speed, cost, and quality.
Full-Time Hiring Drag
Burns 3+ months interviewing, dilutes equity, and locks in $180k+ fixed annual salaries before knowing your long-term design capacity requirements.
Bloated Traditional Agencies
Hide behind account managers, slide decks, and weekly status calls while handing off your actual product design to junior delegates.
Freelancer Lottery
Marketplaces deliver unpredictable craft, ghost mid-sprint, and require endless hand-holding to understand modern SaaS user experience.
Why Paying for Account Managers & Junior Delegates Slows You Down
Traditional retainers extract high margins to pay for non-design bloat while creating miscommunication in critical iteration cycles.
Meetings Over Execution
Agencies bill hours for status meetings, slide decks, and alignment calls instead of shipping actual Figma components and Framer builds.
Diluted Junior Hand-offs
Senior directors pitch you during sales calls; junior designers execute behind the scenes without deep product intuition.
Broken Feedback Loops
Feedback passes through account reps before reaching designers, resulting in missed nuances and lost engineering velocity.
