THE FRACTIONAL PRODUCT DESIGNER
✺ STOP USING YOUR $200/HR ENGINEERS AS JUNIOR DESIGNERS.
Your roadmap isn't stalling because your engineers are slow. It’s stalling because your UI/UX Design handoffs are leaky. I embed with your team for 20 hours a week as a Fractional Product Designer—taking messy requirements and turning them into build-ready Prototypes so your developers can actually code.
Currently accepting 1 new embedded partner.
✺ THE CRISIS
THE MANUAL TRIAGE BOTTLENECK.
You have a talented dev team and a massive backlog. But when a ticket enters the sprint, the user flows are often incomplete or missing logic.
Suddenly, your senior engineers stop building and start playing "Requirement Detective." They are forced to track down edge cases, map error states, and guess the Information Architecture.
In a legacy enterprise, this was the job of a Business Systems Analyst (BSA). But in a high-velocity product team, you don’t have time for 50-page requirement docs that no one reads. You need that technical rigor living directly inside your design assets. Without it, your senior devs burn 30% of their cycles on manual triage, leading to high sprint carryover and exhausted talent.
You don't need a legacy Business Analyst. You need a design pipeline that compiles.
✺ THE INTERVENTION
THE BACKLOG HUNTER.
I don’t need onboarding or hand-holding. I drop directly into your Jira/Linear backlog and Figma environment to act as the technical firewall before the sprint begins. I provide the Systems Architecture rigor with the high-fidelity output of a Product Designer.
Backlog Clearance: I turn vague Product Strategy notes into locked, airtight Interaction Design specs within 48 hours.
The "No-Guessing" Handoff: I map every state and API constraint in your Figma assets so your devs never have to ask, "What happens if...?"
Design Team Hardening: I act as the "Logic Compiler" for your existing team, enforcing systemic integrity before designs reach engineering.
✺ THE ARTIFACTS
WHAT 20 HOURS A WEEK ACTUALLY BUYS YOU.
You aren't renting time; you are renting throughput. As an embedded partner, I deliver:
Build-Ready Feature Specs: Continuous delivery of logic-locked High-Fidelity Prototypes aligned with your active sprint priorities.
Direct Engineering Syncs: I work directly with your lead devs in Slack/Teams to resolve Technical UX constraints in real-time.
The System Component Library: I harden your underlying Design System while clearing the backlog, making every future ticket faster.
Validity Verification: Every design is subjected to Axiomatic Verification to ensure the logic holds before code is committed.
✺ THE ENGAGEMENT MODEL
HIGH-VELOCITY STAFF AUGMENTATION.
The Allocation: 20 hours per week of dedicated, senior-level Technical Product Design.
The Integration: I live in your communication and design stack (Slack, Jira, and your preferred design tools). I attend critical sprint planning and handoff rituals.
The Flexibility: Month-to-month agreement. Pause or scale down once the backlog is cleared. No bloated agency retainers.
✺ THE THE ECONOMIC OFFSET
$2,500/WEEK TO RESTORE YOUR ENGINEERING VELOCITY.
At $125/hr, this embedded allocation costs a fraction of what you lose to the Rework Tax. If you pay a senior dev $200/hr to decode ambiguous UI/UX Design files for 10 hours a week, you are already spending this money—you just aren't getting any features for it.
Let's clear the backlog and restore your velocity.
