Embedded Design Team for Startups
Your external design team without the agency overhead.
Hiring full-time is slow. Freelancers disappear. Agencies overcomplicate.
Our design retainer for startups gives you a senior, embedded team that moves at product speed — without long-term hiring risk. We are senior, proactive, and already thinking two steps ahead.

The problem
You don’t need more control. You need consistent execution.
As your product grows, design doesn’t stop. New features. New landing pages. New flows. New campaigns. Investor decks. Iterations.
The question isn’t if you need design support.
It’s whether you want to manage it — or offload it properly.
Instead of managing multiple designers, you get a single external team fully integrated into your workflow. We operate like part of your team: Slack, Linear, Figma. No friction.
We're a senior design team that takes full ownership.

How we work
We're your on-demand design team
1
Instead of:
Hiring in-house too early
Managing multiple freelancers
Waiting weeks for agency timelines
You send requests in Slack or Linear.
2
We ship.
Fast iteration. Real-time feedback. Production-ready files.
Because we’re embedded, we already know your system — so nothing starts from scratch.

Our method
Our approach to design as a service is simple:
1
Senior-only team
Clear capacity
Product-level thinking
High-velocity execution
2
Many early-stage founders don’t need a big internal design department. They need an external design team for startups that:
Understands AI, Web3, SaaS, or EdTech
Moves without hand-holding
Ships in weeks, not quarters
Maintains design consistency
That’s the model we’ve refined across long-term partnerships.

If you only need a one-off website design and development — choose a project (and, hey, we can do that too.)
If design is ongoing — a retainer wins.
