Why design matters before you scale
Most technical founders ship a working product first and figure out design later. That works until it doesn't. The moment you start selling, fundraising, or onboarding real users, design becomes the difference between a product that feels trustworthy and one that feels unfinished.
Getting a founding designer in early is not about making things pretty. It is about building the right foundations: clear user flows, a consistent visual language, and a product that communicates confidence to investors and customers alike.
That is what I do.
How I work with you
I embed directly with your founding team as your first and only designer. No middleman. No handoffs to a junior. Just senior design judgment applied to your most important problems, from day one.
What that looks like in practice:
Designing your product from first concepts through launch
Building the information architecture and user flows that make complex products feel simple
Creating a design system foundation that your engineers can build from consistently
Delivering high-fidelity UI ready for developer handoff
Sitting in on product discussions so design is never an afterthought
The engagement is simple. A monthly retainer, no long-term contract, no equity. We start with your most pressing problem and build from there. When you are ready to hire a full-time designer, I will have built the foundation they inherit.
