A Design Team Embedded in Your Product Org
We join your Slack, attend your standups, own your Figma, and ship design every sprint. Not a vendor you brief and wait on — a senior design function that works the way your team does.

About the Service
Service
Most agencies work against your timeline. You brief them, wait two weeks, get a presentation, give feedback, wait again. Meanwhile your engineering team is blocked and your sprint is slipping.
An embedded design team works inside your product organization. We join your Slack. We attend your standups and sprint planning. We pick up tickets in your PM system. We maintain and organize your Figma. We own the design function — not as a vendor delivering outputs, but as team members who understand context, history, and where the product is going.
For product companies at pre-seed through Series A who need consistent design output, strategic design thinking, and a partner who shows up like a teammate — not an agency.

Continuity
Step 1
Onboarding & Context
We get full context before we produce anything. Product vision, roadmap, technical constraints, team dynamics, past design decisions. We learn the product the way a new hire would — not the way an agency does.
Step 2
Design Audit
We review the existing product and Figma state. What's working? What's inconsistent? What's technically broken? We establish a baseline before adding anything new.
Step 3
Sprint Integration
We integrate into your sprint cycle. Standup, sprint planning, design reviews — we're in the same cadence as your product and engineering team. Tickets are assigned to us the same way they'd be assigned to an in-house designer.
Step 4
Ongoing Delivery
We ship design every week. Features, flows, components, edge cases, QA with engineering — the full design function, executed at the pace your team moves.
Step 5
Design Reviews
Regular design reviews keep quality high and direction aligned. We run async Loom reviews for quick feedback, and sync sessions for strategic decisions. You're always in the loop without being in every detail.
Step 6
Continuity
Unlike freelancers or project agencies, we maintain continuity. We remember why decisions were made. We maintain the design system. We onboard new team members. We're there when you need to move fast.

What We Design
Why Partnering With Us Drives Better Results
We combine expertise, creativity, and a results-driven mindset to deliver exceptional digital experiences. From strategy to execution, our team ensures every project meets the highest standards and drives real impact for your business.
Works like a teammate, not a vendor
We join your Slack, attend your standups, and work in your PM system. No briefing decks, no waiting for presentations. Design moves at the speed your team expects.
Senior-level output
You get experienced designers who've shipped real products — not juniors supervised by a senior who barely shows up. Every sprint is driven by designers who can think strategically and execute precisely.
No hiring overhead
No recruiter fees, no salary negotiation, no onboarding ramp, no benefits management. Predictable monthly cost, senior design output, starting within days.
Full design function
UX thinking, UI execution, Figma organization, design system maintenance, engineering QA — the complete design function, not just the pretty parts of it.
Scales with you
Start with what you need. Scale up for launches or fundraising moments. Scale down when things slow down. Flexible without the rigidity of a full-time hire.
Startup-native speed
We understand pre-revenue constraints, investor timelines, and the reality of building with limited resources. We move at startup speed because that's how we've always worked.
