Build a stronger design team with a hiring process grounded in the work ahead.

I help founders and agency leaders define the role they actually need, set a practical evaluation bar, and assess candidates for product thinking, craft, and fit. The engagement begins with the business context and design challenges, then turns that into a role brief, scorecard, and repeatable interview process.

Search engagements can also be structured as a success fee of 20% of the hire's first-year base salary. The displayed day rate applies when advisory support is the right fit.

Best for teams hiring their first designer, expanding a design function, or sharpening an existing search.
