What we offer

On-demand design expertise without hiring risk.

Instead of costly, slow, and risky hires, we embed experienced designers from day one, delivering immediate impact while preserving capital and founder focus.

Design that reveals true product–market fit.

We design products that show value from the first click, so founders can validate traction quickly instead of wasting capital chasing false negatives.

Strengthen fundraising narratives.

We strengthen product perception by creating polished, consistent design that builds customer trust, signals maturity to the market, and helps founders tell a compelling growth story.

How we work with your portfolio

Choose together

We start with a close discussion to identify needs and agree where design will have the most impact, then plan the engagement accordingly.

Fast start

We align with the company team (founder/PM), goals, constraints, and success signals.

Plan the work

Pick outcomes and an engagement model (sprint, retainer, or embedded). We adapt to their tools and rituals.

Execute visibly

Short cycles and tangible deliverables—prototypes, storyboards, and assets—with clean handoffs to engineering, marketing, print, or production.

Reporting

Flexible cadence and format tailored to each engagement—weekly notes, milestone summaries, recorded walkthroughs, or live check‑ins as needed.

Exit & enablement

Docs, an actionable backlog, and ready‑to‑use assets (product, brand, marketing, motion, print). Hiring support or partner handoff as needed.
