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.

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.

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.
