Most businesses hit a wall at some point. One-off projects stop keeping up with the pace. Briefing takes too long, quality gets inconsistent, and design becomes the bottleneck that slows everything else down.
This retainer fixes that. I come in as a strategic design partner embedded directly inside your team — every single month. No lengthy onboarding every time, no chasing freelancers, no design quality that drops off after the first delivery. Just a partner who knows your product, shows up to your sprints, and keeps things moving without you having to manage them.
Whether you're an agency carrying more client work than your team can handle, a startup that needs consistent design thinking without a full-time hire, or a growing product team that can't afford for design to be the thing that slows everything down — this is built for exactly that.

Why Choose Me Over Others

Most freelancers hand you a file and disappear. This is different. I don't work for you — I work with you.

Here's what that actually looks like:

Strategic design thinking at a fraction of a full-time salary
I plug directly into your team — your Slack, your sprints, your tools, your rhythm
Your design system stays consistent, maintained, and ready to scale
Agencies get full white-label support — your clients never know I'm involved
No re-briefing every month — I already know your brand, your product, and your standards
Priority access — when you need something, your work moves to the front of the line
One predictable monthly investment — no surprise invoices, no scope creep

Deliverables

Dedicated Monthly Hours — locked in before we start, tracked transparently
Ongoing UX/UI Design — new features, updates, and improvements without the back and forth
Design Reviews & QA — nothing ships with avoidable issues on my watch
Design System Maintenance — clean, consistent, and built to grow with your product
Sprint Participation — inside your team's workflow, not sitting on the outside of it
Async Updates & Communication — you always know where things stand without needing a meeting

Tools I Use

Design: Figma, Adobe XD, Photoshop, Illustrator, Framer
Communication: Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, Google Meet, Loom
Project Management: Notion, ClickUp, Asana
