I join your team as an embedded partner — with growing context that translates into better, faster decisions every month.

Two tiers: Design Partner for tactical execution, Product Partner for strategic impact. Minimum 3 months — because the value of a retainer compounds over time.

Rate $70/h Commitment 3 months minimum Cancellation 30-day notice after initial term

Teams scaling past their first designer, CTOs who need senior design input without a full-time hire, companies post-DS Foundation who want to maintain and evolve the system.

Guaranteed capacity — your hours are reserved, no queue

Weekly scope-gates — clear plan for what we're doing this week

Growing context = faster decisions = fewer meetings

Priority booking over On-Demand clients

Monthly report: what we did, what we planned, what needs a decision

Design system governance (if applicable)

24/7 availability (async, CET working hours)

Managing other designers (I review and mentor, but don't manage)

Frontend development (I prototype, but production code is your dev team's job)

A kickoff call (30–60 min) to understand your product, team, and priorities

Access to Figma, codebase docs, and communication tools (Slack / Teams / etc.)

A clear point of contact for task prioritization
