Growth Package (80-100 hours/month)Pilipda "Soda" Samattanawin
Commitment: 20-25 hours per week
Ideal for: Scale-ups with product-market fit, companies launching new features
Why Me?
I'm a product designer with 6 years of experience building consumer products from zero to launch, specializing in early-stage startups and scale-ups. My background spans both web development agencies and hands-on product leadership, giving me a rare blend of technical fluency and design intuition.
Problem-First Approach
Taste as Standard
Launch Expertise
Consumer Product Design
My sweet spot is designing consumer-facing apps and web experiences that people actually want to use. I excel at:
0-to-1 Product Development: Taking your idea from napkin sketch to launched MVP with real users. I've been through this journey multiple times and know how to move fast without cutting corners on quality.
Rapid Prototyping & Validation: High-fidelity prototypes that look and feel real enough to test with users. I can turn concepts into clickable prototypes in days, not weeks, so you can validate assumptions before burning engineering resources.
Product Iteration & Evolution: Designing v2, v3, and beyond based on real user data. I know how to balance new feature development with fixing what's broken and maintaining what works.
AI/ML Product Experiences: Translating complex AI capabilities into intuitive user experiences. I understand how to design for uncertainty, progressive disclosure, and building user trust in intelligent features.
FAQs
We begin with a discovery call to understand your product, challenges, and goals. I'll assess if we're a good fit and propose a specific engagement structure.
I integrate as a part-time team member, not an external contractor. You get dedicated hours each week, participation in standups/critiques, and direct collaboration with your team. I'm on Slack, in your tools, and accountable for outcomes.
At the part time hours, I'll be attending meetings, unblocking the team daily, and driving design decisions.
Absolutely. I often complement existing teams by taking on strategic initiatives, mentoring junior designers, or handling overflow during intense product phases. My ADPList mentoring experience means I'm comfortable leveling up talent while delivering
That's actually my favorite starting point. I excel at problem discovery and can help you figure out what to build before diving into pixels. Many engagements start with research, competitive analysis, and opportunity mapping.
Yes, this is where my experience shines. I've navigated pivots firsthand and know how to balance preserving what works while fixing what doesn't. I bring fresh perspective without the baggage of "we've always done it this way."
I'm based in Lisbon (WET/GMT) and comfortable working with overlap hours for US East Coast, European, and some West Coast clients. I structure my availability to ensure real-time collaboration during your core hours.
