Founders reach out when they’re building a product without a designer — or when they have one and don’t know how to grow from there. I’ve been on both sides: solo designer from first screen to Series B, and building design teams from zero twice. The sweet spot is a technical product or developer tool, pre-seed through Series A.
That first stretch is fractional product design — a founding designer for startups that aren’t ready to hire one yet, or a partner once the first designer is in and the team needs to grow.
One call a week, async between. You get senior product design input without hiring or managing someone.
I like to have skin in the game, so I prefer equity as part of compensation.
The first conversation is a free call. Email if that’s easier.
If you’re a designer rather than a founder, see how I work with designers.
