🌟 Fractional Design Program • Continuous Strategic SupportChanel Medeiros
Need a seasoned product designer to elevate your product experience, bring strategic UX thinking to your team, and drive business growth—without the commitment of a full-time hire?

Whether you need help refining an existing product, designing new features, creating a 0-1 product, or conducting research, I’ll adapt my process to fit your goals and budget.
As your Fractional UX Design Partner I will act as an extension of your team—bringing strategy, user-centered design, and execution together to drive product success. I'll help your company scale its design efforts with expert guidance, research-driven design, and hands-on collaboration.
🔥 Priority Access: Retainer clients get priority scheduling and faster turnaround times compared to one-off projects.

FAQs
With 7+ years of experience, I provide strategic, user-centered design thinking while adapting to your specific needs. From small design tweaks to full UX overhauls, I offer seamless, reliable support with a deep understanding of usability, aesthetics, and development constraints.
I’ll join your Slack, Notion, Jira, or any team tools you use. We’ll have regular check-ins, and I’ll participate in team meetings as needed.
We’ll start with a discovery call to align on your needs, goals, and team dynamics. Then, I’ll tailor an engagement plan that fits your budget and timeline. To get started, I'll need some context on your product, target users, and business goals. If you have any existing user research, analytics, or design files, that would be helpful. If not, I’m happy to guide you through a discovery phase to gather the information we need to kick things off.
I can work with existing designs! Whether you need a full redesign or just some optimization or tweaks to your current interface, I’m happy to collaborate and build upon what you already have. My goal is to make sure the final design is user-friendly, visually engaging, and aligned with your objectives.
I’m comfortable working both independently or collaborating with your in-house team 🙌 . If you have a developer or project manager already on board, I can seamlessly integrate with them to ensure smooth communication and successful project delivery.
