A senior product designer inside your team, not a vendor outside it.

Project work has a shape problem. The most consequential design decisions keep happening after the project ends, in standups and Slack threads and pull requests, usually made by whoever is closest to the deadline. A retainer puts design judgment in the room while those decisions are being made.

Ongoing weekly product design against your roadmap. I work in your tools, join your standups, review your team's work, and ship alongside engineering rather than throwing designs over a wall ahead of it.

Monday we agree priorities. From there I deliver flows, screens, and prototypes against the roadmap, give written and prioritized critique on work in progress from anyone else designing, and stay reachable for the fast decisions that unblock engineering instead of waiting for a scheduled handoff.

When the roadmap is genuinely uncertain, when engineering is shipping continuously, or when you have a capable junior designer who mainly needs someone senior to review against. Fixed scope engagements are better when the destination is already clear. I will tell you which situation you are in.

AI product teams shipping continuously who need design judgment week to week rather than a single deliverable.

Billed weekly. Four week minimum, then week to week. No long term lock in.
