Target audience.
For fintech founders, funded startups, and established teams who need to launch a new product or vertical at the speed of the 2026 market.
If you need to go from a raw concept to an investor-ready, interactive product in exactly 3 weeks without compromising on quality or compliance, this sprint is built for you.
My background.
You get strategic execution from someone who has built 30+ financial platforms across India, the GCC (including Saudi Arabia), and Southeast Asia. I specialize in turning complex financial logic into seamless, trust-first user experiences.
What we solve.
Ambiguity around highest-impact feature prioritization and what to build first.
Slow speed-to-prototype that drains your runway before you can even validate the market.
Lack of fintech best practices from Day 1, leading to costly compliance and trust rebuilds later.
Translating a complex, raw idea into a scalable, developer-ready financial architecture.
The need for a high-fidelity, interactive prototype to secure your next round of funding.
Getting started.
First, a strict NDA, your next big idea remains completely confidential.
We kick off with a high-intensity session to ruthlessly prioritize your feature list and eliminate bloat.
We map out complex fintech workflows upfront and lock in the exact 21-day scope to protect your budget and timeline.
My team and I plug seamlessly into your tech stack to ensure zero friction in communication.
How we work.
The 21-Day Sprint:
Week 1: Discovery, feature prioritization, wireframing, and mapping critical flows (KYC, onboarding, transactions).
Week 2: High-fidelity UI design, trust-building visual language, and interactive prototyping.
Week 3: Final polish, investor-ready prototype completion, and developer handoff preparation.
I leverage an AI-native design stack to accelerate output. This allows us to map complex financial architecture and high-fidelity UI in days, not weeks.
I manage all design software subscriptions on my end. You retain 100% ownership of the final product.
What you get.
A fully interactive, high-fidelity prototype ready for investor pitches or user testing.
A scalable, foundational design system to build upon for future updates.
Clean, pixel-perfect developer handoff files so your engineers can start coding immediately.
Weekly video sync-ups so you see the product evolve in real-time without guesswork.
Let's talk!
Building a fintech platform is high-stakes, but you don't have to navigate the complexity alone. Let’s jump on a quick discovery call.
We can map out your exact 21-day roadmap, align on the scope, and hit the ground running
FAQs
There is no arbitrary limit on screen count. Instead, we define the exact product scope together during our kickoff strategy workshop. That agreed-upon scope becomes the boundary for the 15-day sprint, ensuring we build exactly what your users actually need.
If your product vision expands and requires work beyond the 15-day sprint, we simply transition you into our Fractional UX Design Team retainer. We have never missed a deadline on our end; timeline extensions only happen when founding teams decide they want to pack even more features into the MVP.
We ask you to provide a shortlist of target users or contacts within your specific market. Once you provide the contacts, we handle absolutely everything else, from drafting the specific fintech questionnaires to conducting the live interviews and synthesizing the data.
We can leverage the latest Figma MCP and design-to-code tools available now in 2026 and deliver clean front-end code alongside your UI designs. Your engineering team simply handles the back-end integration. If you don't have developers yet, we also have trusted engineering partners we can bring in to handle the full technical build for an additional cost.
We never just toss a Figma file over the fence and disappear. Every MVP sprint includes a free 2-week, 10-work-hours support window after the final handover. You can use this time for developer Q&A, minor design tweaks, or implementation guidance to ensure the build goes smoothly.
