Fractional product design for technical teams who need to move fast

I start immediately and work across design, research, prototyping and analytics - without the wait or commitment of a full-time hire.

You have deep industry expertise and developers who can ship fast, but you're still struggling

You need an experienced design partner embedded in the team to cut through uncertainty and move your team forward.

Burning time and money deciding what to build next
A UI that looks unpolished and inconsistent
New users signing up but never coming back
Whole organisations failing to adopt your product
No idea which features people actually use or where they drop off
Users struggling to understand how to use what you've built
Features piling up with no clear navigation or structure
Every new feature looking like it belongs to a different product
Guessing at solutions instead of testing with real users
Engineers asking endless questions because specs are unclear

Analytics

We choose the tool (I like PostHog), configure events with AI, I set up the dashboard and we get instant clarity on where users drop off and which features they use.

User Research

I recruit participants, run sessions, synthesise insights and turn them into product decisions, not just reports—and not guessing what users want.

Design Systems

In Figma or in code I review your components and align them to a single language so your team ships faster and your UI looks consistent.

0-1 Product Design

With established components I can churn out features quickly, or design a platform from scratch with best practices baked in so engineers can build from it without constant back-and-forth.

Conversion Optimisation

I audit your landing page and login flow, redesign them, test with real users and measure the conversion lift so you see results and metrics going up and to the right.

Rapid Prototyping

AI has made prototyping in code easy; I can start from scratch or branch in your codebase to create functional prototypes (not just Figma) so we can test with users before committing full engineering time.

Design in Code

You might have small inconsistencies in your UX or UI; I can go in, optimise and open PRs for your devs to review without taking them off track, so you get the best UX/UI possible.

Onboarding Emails

I design the sequences, write the copy and set up the triggers so new users get the right message at the right time and reach their first win faster—so you see activation and retention improve without guessing which emails work.

Website Design

I design conversion-focused landing pages that show off your product clearly and give you a professional presence, so visitors understand what you do and you can turn interest into sign-ups when you're ready.
