Cover image for Dedicated Design Partner — Senior Embedded Design for Founders
An embedded senior design partnership — not a project, not a freelance contract. I work as your dedicated designer across product, system, and interface. In your Slack, your Linear, your Figma. Thinking like a founding designer, shipping like a senior partner.

Who This Is For

Funded founders, early-stage teams, and pre-product companies building:
Complex SaaS platforms
Fintech products (payments, investments, transactions)
B2B marketplaces and commerce infrastructure
Enterprise tools and operational systems
Best if you've raised funding, are pre-product or early product, and don't want to hire full-time yet — or can't find senior enough design talent.

Proven Partnership

I've partnered with founders from early stages across:
RedCloud — Global B2B marketplace and fintech infrastructure
Turntide — Deep tech electrification platform
Manafa Capital — Fintech investment platform
Shopdot — Commerce infrastructure
15+ years working directly with founders across SaaS, fintech, and marketplace categories. 40+ products shipped. 100M+ users worldwide.

Embedded design partnership (60–80 hours/month)
Product strategy and system thinking
Full user flows across web and mobile
Complete visual system and design foundation
MVP to scalable product design
Design system ownership
Direct collaboration with founder and engineering
Ongoing strategic input across the roadmap

Investment

$6,000 / month — dedicated senior partner Equivalent hourly: $75–$100/hour Minimum engagement: 3 months
Compared to hiring a senior designer full-time ($150K+ per year + benefits + equity), this is half the cost with zero hiring risk and immediate senior-level output from week one.
