WORKING WITH ME
Three ways we can work together
The right engagement model depends on where it hurts: leadership, execution or capability.
| Fractional or Interim Head of Design | High-Impact Individual Contributor | 1:1 Coaching Sessions for Founders, Leaders and Teams | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What I do | Lead the design function — direction, process, team, stakeholders — until you hire permanently. | Hands-on senior design on a critical initiative. I do the hardest work and leave the team stronger. | Specific coaching for people doing design in complex B2B domains. No generic advice, just hard conversations that actually move things forward. |
| Requires | No design leader yet, or while you hire a replacement | At least one other designer on the project | A design leader, founder or team open to outside support |
| Commitment | 1–3 days/week · 3-month minimum | Part-time · Defined scope · 6–12 weeks | Weekly or bi-weekly 1-hour sessions |
| Outcome | A functioning design team with the right foundations in place. | Project shipped and a team that can own it going forward. | Sharper leaders and more capable teams. |

LEARN MORE ABOUT EACH SERVICE
Senior design leadership, hands on, for a critical project. I lead from inside the work, and leave the team more capable.
What this is
Some initiatives are too complex or high-stakes for the existing team to own alone. Not because the designers aren't good — because the problem needs someone who has solved it before.
I embed as the senior designer on a defined project: in the files, in the reviews, in the stakeholder conversations. Every engagement has two outputs — the work, and a team that knows how to do it again without me.
The two deliverables
The project.
Structure, information architecture, flows, edge cases, stakeholder alignment, and a handoff engineering can actually use.
AI-augmented workflows for the repeatable parts — synthesis, pattern recognition, edge case mapping — and as a thinking partner for better decisions. Judgment stays human.
The team.
Working through decisions out loud, documenting the thinking, and mentoring the designer alongside me. You get the output and the capability.
When this fits
- A core product area being redesigned that needs to hold up under enterprise scrutiny.
- A data-heavy feature, permissions model, or dashboard suite where the wrong structure costs months to undo.
- Your design lead is stretched and the project needs someone to take the hardest decisions off their plate.
