Embedded designers and design teams for product companies that need to ship, not just explore. A decade of UX/UI work, including the engagement that produced Ooma's mobile app, Clutch rated 5.0.
We don't take every design engagement. These are the situations where embedded product design delivers compounding value.
The product team is shipping. Engineering has bandwidth. Design is the bottleneck. You need senior designers who can integrate with your existing process, not run a discovery sprint.
Different parts of the product feel like they were built by different teams. There's no design system. You need someone to audit, build the foundations, and bring consistency without rebuilding everything from scratch.
You've outgrown the designer-as-decorator phase but haven't yet built the structures that let design contribute strategically. We help operationalize design as a function, not a service.
Figma replaced Sketch. AI tools changed wireframing. Token systems became the norm. The team's velocity dropped because the foundations need rework. We do the unglamorous foundations work.
No discovery decks. No "design thinking" workshops. Designers who pair with your engineers and ship features.
Our six phase process for embedded design work. Discovery, foundations, delivery, system build, handoff. Written for engineering leaders evaluating partners.
A 5-stage framework for evaluating where your design organization sits and what to invest in next. Used in our discovery calls. Free to apply yourself.
