Get proven UX leadership without hiring full-time

Fractional UX

Your customers’ experience with your digital product is the single biggest factor driving your success metrics:

  • Conversions & upgrades

  • NPS & CSAT

  • Feature adoption

  • Support ticket volume

Having a seasoned, user-centered, tech-savvy UX leader in your corner can get those numbers moving in the right direction.

And by going fractional, you only pay for what you need, without the costs and risks of hiring a full-time resource or an outsourced agency.

This is your “easy button” to a higher-performing digital product.

Who is fractional UX for?

SaaS Startups

I partner with product teams at SaaS companies who need experienced UX leadership without the full-time commitment or overhead of a senior hire.

Examples:

  • You're building your first design system and need someone who's done it before

  • Your product team is mostly engineers and PMs, and UX feels like the missing piece

  • User feedback is pointing to usability issues, but you're not sure how to prioritize and execute

  • You're preparing for Series A/B and investors are asking about your design strategy

  • Your team is moving fast, but you want to avoid costly UX debt down the road

  • You need someone who can work embedded with developers and speak their language

Digital Agencies

I work with agencies who need flexible UX expertise for temporary staff aug or to fill a leadership vacuum but don’t have budget for recruiters.

Examples:

  • You've landed a UX-heavy project but don't have the in-house staff to cover it

  • Your creative team is strong on visual design but needs strategic UX thinking

  • A key UX person just left and you need immediate coverage for client deliverables

  • You want to expand UX offerings but aren't ready to hire a full-time UX Director

  • Clients are asking for user research and strategy, not just beautiful interfaces

  • You need someone who can mentor junior designers while delivering client work

How does the fractional model work?

Embedded
Fractional support should feel embedded, snapped into your team like a missing Lego. This typically includes a presence in email, Slack, and weekly meeting cadences, with a signed NDA and/or BAA.

Retainer-based
Work is provided on a flexible part-time retainer basis, so you get just the right amount of UX help you need at a budget-friendly price point.

Flexible
As your need for UX support ebbs and flows, weekly availability can easily adjust up or down.

When you’re ready for an FTE, we can help recruit, interview, and make hiring recommendations appropriate to your rate of growth.

It’s 100 times cheaper to fix a design flaw on the drawing board than after product launch.
