Product Design Partner for Startups. Monthly RetainerMaty Sandoval
A senior product designer embedded in your team, 40 hours a month
You shipped the product. Now design is the bottleneck. The site doesn't convert the way it should, the UI feels stitched together, and every new feature needs design capacity you don't have the headcount for.
A monthly design partner fixes that without a full-time hire. No recruiting, no equity, no agency layers. The same designer you talk to is the one doing the work, embedded in your Slack and Figma.
I'm a product designer and Framer Expert who works end to end: UX, UI, design systems, and live Framer sites. I partner with founders and product teams across the US and Canada who need senior design they can rely on every month.
Who this is for:
Early-stage and growing SaaS, AI, or fintech teams
You've shipped, but design is holding back growth or polish
You want a partner who thinks about the product, not just clears a ticket queue
You need consistent design capacity without committing to a full-time hire
What's included
Product & web design: UX, UI, marketing sites, and design-system work, focused on what actually moves your product forward.
Framer development: production sites built and shipped end to end, no separate dev handoff.
Design system upkeep: your components, tokens, and patterns maintained and extended as you grow.
Working prototypes: clickable flows ready for testing, not just static mockups.
A dedicated 40-hour monthly block: reserved design time each month you direct to your top priorities.
Embedded collaboration: Slack, Figma, and a shared board. Async by default, sync when it matters, with priority turnaround on your requests.
How it works
Most retainers start after a scoped project together: a Design System, a Framer site, or a Mobile App UX/UI engagement. That's how we build a rhythm before settling into the retainer.
We start with a short call to align on your product and where design can help most.
The retainer runs on a fixed 40-hour block each month, directed to your top priorities.
$4,000/month, three-month minimum to start. After that, it's month to month. Pause or stop with notice before the next cycle.
Pricing
The retainer is $4,000/month for a dedicated 40-hour block, three-month minimum to start. After that it runs month to month, pause or cancel with notice before the next cycle. Hours beyond the block are billed at $110/hour, always agreed before the work starts.
