You have validated demand and you have engineers. What you do not have is a product that looks like it deserves to be paid for. I design the whole thing - architecture, core flows, design system, edge cases - and hand it to your team in a state they can build from without coming back to me with questions. I have done this as founding designer at SimplifiedIQ, which went from no product to 25 enterprise clients including Deloitte and KPMG, and at Splufix, whose founders raised a $500K pre-seed with the design in the deck.

• Product architecture and information architecture

• Full design system: tokens, components, documentation

• Every core flow designed, including empty, error and loading states

• Interactive prototype for testing and for your investor conversations

• Engineering handoff spec with written rationale for the decisions that matter

• Weekly written updates and a shared Figma file you can watch in real time

Pre-idea founders who have not spoken to a customer yet - you need validation before design. Teams with an in-house design lead looking for extra execution hands; I work best owning the product decisions, not implementing someone else's. Agencies subcontracting white-label work.
