Startups & Scale-ups

You need senior design now, not in six months when your hiring process finally finishes.

Idea to prototype

Getting from concept to a testable product without months of overhead.

No design debt

Foundations laid right early, so you are not rebuilding at scale.

Investor-ready

Demos and product polish that hold up in front of a room.

Scaling output

Design that keeps pace as the company and roadmap accelerate.

Senior cover

Senior design now, until you are ready to hire your own team.

Speed and quality

Shipping fast without the quality that makes you look early-stage.

Senior design without the salary, the equity or the six-month search. I plug in like an in-house lead.

Scale my time up or down as the project does. Fast to a working prototype, a design system set up early, so moving quickly now doesn't buy you a rebuild later.

UX Design

Fast, research-informed product design.

UI Design

Polished interfaces and scalable design systems.

Branding

Brand identity for new ventures.

Websites

Launch-ready marketing sites.

Apps

MVP and prototype design.

SaaS product interfaces.

What is a fractional design partner?

Senior design expertise without a full-time hire. I embed in your team for the time you actually need, then scale up or down as the work does. You get 18+ years of experience without a six-month hiring process.

We cannot afford a senior designer full-time. Can we still work with you?

That is exactly the model. You get enterprise-grade design thinking at a fraction of the cost of hiring, because you only pay for the time you use.

How fast can you move?

Fast enough for a startup, careful enough to avoid design debt. I will get you to a working prototype quickly and set up a design system early, so the speed now does not cost you a rebuild later.

What happens when we hire our own designer?

I hand over cleanly. A documented design system and a clear record of the decisions mean your in-house hire starts from something solid, not a mess they have to unpick first.

Can you scale up if the project grows?

Yes. I work with an extended network: Daria on development, Liza on junior design. When a project needs more hands, I bring them in rather than letting it stall.

Let's work together

Senior design expertise, direct collaboration, no overhead.
