You've probably been here:
You hire a designer. Portfolio looks great. But two weeks in, you realize they're waiting for you to make every decision. They need constant direction. You're spending hours in Loom videos explaining context. Instead of getting leverage, you've added another person to manage.
Here's the brutal truth: Most designers on Upwork are good at execution. They'll make your app look professional. But they won't help you figure out WHAT to build, WHY it matters, or WHETHER it's worth building at all.
Get leverage, not another designer to manage.

What's included

Strategic Deliverables
- Customer research findings and validation reports - Feature scope recommendations - Technical feasibility assessments - Product strategy recommendations - Success metrics and measurement plans
Design Deliverables
- User flows and journey maps - Low-fidelity wireframes - High-fidelity mockups (Figma) - Interactive prototypes - Design system documentation - Developer handoff specifications with detailed specs - Design rationale documentation - Usability testing insights
FAQs
Very little. After our initial alignment, I take full ownership of the design process. I’ll sync with your team and users independently, providing async updates via Loom so you get results without the management overhead.
Yes. I specialize in B2B SaaS where technical constraints are real. I consult with your engineering team early in the process and deliver dev-ready Figma files with clean specs to ensure a smooth, realistic handoff.
We focus on business outcomes over "cool" ideas. I use customer research and technical feasibility to help you cut through feature bloat, ensuring we only invest design and dev time into features that drive adoption and retention.
