Testimonials
Trusted by the best. Just ask them.
Mac is one of the most talented designers I've worked with. He has a beautiful balance of strong product strategy chops paired with high-craft execution, even in highly complex spaces. He's extremely adept at discerning what problems to focus on first, second, third and is particularly skilled at cutting through blockers to carve paths forward. I would have Mac on my team again in a heartbeat given the opportunity.
Mac is one of the most exceptional talents I have encountered in the design field. His rare ability to seamlessly blend product thinking with meticulous design execution sets him apart. Mac is not just a designer; he is a holistic product thinker who can transform an abstract idea into a fully realized product. His capability to take a design from concept to launch with finesse is truly remarkable.
Mac is a dream designer for any PM to work with. His design output is incredibly strong. He has an ability to cut through complexity and deal with constraints to produce solutions that are surprisingly simple and elegant. He constantly runs two or three steps ahead of the rest of his product & engineering team. He identifies problems that need to be solved before anyone else suggests them. And best of all, he produces all this great work with ridiculous speed and autonomy.
Mac consistently delivered exceptional design solutions, balancing user experience with strategic goals. His creativity and ability to transform complex challenges into intuitive, user-friendly designs were remarkable.
Mac is a 10x designer who can take a product from 0 to 1 fast and to an industry-leading level of quality. I always found his pace, range of precision and execution to be inspiring and world-class. He is a strong prototyper, exceptional thought leader, and technical master of the domain, and I would fully entrust him to ship from ambiguous idea to production.
Frequently Asked Questions

How does the fractional model work?
Our fractional model provides ongoing product design support from a FAANG product design lead for a flat monthly fee. This monthly retainer includes support spanning product strategy, UX design, UI design, website design, and team development.
We start off with discovery and product strategy workshops to help understand your product, assess its current state, and prioritize next steps. Depending on your product, this could be anything from foundational product scoping to detailed experimentation plans.
For early stage products, we start out with identifying and validating user problems, conducting competitive research, and establishing a base visual language. For more mature products, we may conduct audits, refine existing features and systems, design new features, or craft full-funnel growth strategies.
We integrate with your existing tooling stack (Slack, JIRA, Notion, etc.), and maintain collaboration through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous means. For most clients, this typically looks like 2-4 weekly calls, ongoing discussions on Slack/JIRA/Figma, and design walkthroughs on Loom.
Can I pause or cancel anytime?
Yes, you can cancel anytime with no penalties. If you need to pause your engagement, we offer pausing in half-monthly increments—perfect for when you're heads-down on implementation or between funding rounds.
Is there a minimum commitment?
One month. We believe great design partnerships prove their value quickly, so we keep commitments flexible.
Do you offer a guarantee?
If you're not 100% satisfied after your first month, we'll give you a 50% refund—no questions asked.
Who do you work with?
We primarily work with early-stage startups (Seed to Series B), focusing on projects that are 0-1 or have a high degree of ambiguity or technical complexity. This includes everything from validating new ideas and building MVPs to scaling complex systems and refining user experiences for growth.
In addition to startups, we also work with select agencies and enterprise clients. For these clients, we typically collaborate on skunkworks-style internal initiatives or challenging digital transformation projects, especially those requiring innovative thinking and rapid execution.
