About this service

Summary

This monthly retainer is designed for B2B SaaS teams who already have a basic design system or DesignOps setup and want to keep improving it.
From component refinement and documentation to workflow evolution, tooling upgrades, and system scaling, I provide continuous, high-value support to help your team operate at peak efficiency.
It’s ideal for teams in growth mode who want ongoing optimisation without hiring a full-time DesignOps lead.

FAQs

  • What’s included in the monthly scope?

    You’ll receive one structured audit + ongoing updates to your design system, documentation, handoff flows, and tooling setup based on priorities we define together.

  • How many hours does this engagement cover?

    Typically 15–20 hours/month depending on the scope and system maturity. It’s structured to give you consistent progress without the cost of a full-time hire.

  • Do you join weekly meetings or work async?

    Both are possible. I specialise in async-first support, but can also join weekly standups or sync reviews when required.

    Yes. I’ll handle all library updates, cleanups, and structural changes, and provide documentation so your team stays aligned.

  • Can this include strategy sessions or roadmap planning?

    Absolutely. I can help prioritise initiatives, work with team leads on DesignOps roadmap, and serve as an embedded strategic partner.
