Ongoing UX/UI design, product thinking, and customer research support for teams that need to ship faster without hiring a full-time senior designer.

Need senior product design support, but not another full-time hire? I work with SaaS teams and startups as an ongoing design partner by helping shape features, improve UX, run focused research, and deliver polished UI that is ready to ship.
Most clients come to me when one of these is true:
design has become the bottleneck
developers are waiting on flows, screens, or better product decisions
the team has outgrown project-by-project freelancers
there is too much on the roadmap for the current design capacity
the product needs stronger UX thinking before the next release
This service gives you an ongoing senior product design partner embedded in your workflow.
I work with founders, product owners/managers, and SaaS teams to improve product UX, design clear and scalable interfaces, validate ideas, and keep design quality consistent as the roadmap evolves. Instead of treating design like a series of disconnected tasks, I stay close to the product and help move it forward over time.
Think of it as ongoing product design support with context, ownership, and continuity.

What I Can Help With?

New feature design
End-to-end product flows
UX audits and friction reduction
Wireframes and interaction design
High-fidelity UI for web and mobile
Design systems and component libraries
Research planning, conducting, analysis, and actionable synthesis
Landing pages and supporting product marketing surfaces
Ongoing iteration as the product grows

How This Works?

1. Kickoff We align on your product, priorities, users, workflow, and what success looks like.
2. Embedded support I plug into your existing process and work through roadmap priorities with you. I can also add more design teammates, as I lead a small 4-person design studio, giving you even more flexibility when needed.
3. Design and validation I turn product problems into clear flows, interfaces, prototypes, and design decisions grounded in product logic and user needs.
4. Handoff and iteration You get organized files, clear rationale, developer-ready handoff, and ongoing refinement as the product evolves.

Who Is This For?

SaaS companies and startups with an active roadmap
Founders who need senior product design without building a full internal team
Product teams that want one accountable design owner instead of several freelancers
Products that need continuity across UX, UI, systems, and iteration
I lead the work directly. When a project needs more capacity, I can bring in carefully selected support from my studio while keeping one point of contact and consistent quality.
Send me a message with your product, your current bottleneck, and what you need help shipping next. I’ll tell you quickly whether this is the right fit and what the best next step looks like.
