FAQs
How does the design retainer work?
You get dedicated design time on a weekly or monthly basis. Tasks are prioritized together and handled continuously, allowing the design work to evolve alongside your product instead of being treated as one-off requests.
Is this a full-time engagement?
No. This retainer provides ongoing design support with a defined monthly capacity. It’s designed for continuous progress and collaboration, not for full-time or unlimited work.
What kind of design tasks are included?
UX/UI design, feature work, usability improvements, wireframes, interactive prototypes, design systems, components, and product-focused design challenges. If it’s design-related, it usually fits within the retainer.
How do you use AI in your process?
AI is used to create functional, interactive prototypes that make ideas easier to explore, test, and iterate. This approach speeds up early ideation, reduces guesswork, and enables faster feedback cycles, while all design decisions remain guided by product goals and UX principles.
Is this suitable for early-stage startups?
Yes. This retainer works especially well for early-stage and growing teams that need senior design support, fast iteration, and clear decision-making without the overhead of a full-time hire.
How is pricing structured?
Pricing is based on dedicated time and can be set hourly, weekly, or monthly depending on your needs and availability. We’ll align on the best structure before starting.
Is there a minimum commitment?
A short minimum commitment is recommended to ensure continuity and meaningful impact, but details can be aligned based on your project and goals.
