Get a User Experience
Leader without the $280K Hire.

Your product is good enough to grow. It's the experience layer that's costing you customers, deals, and board confidence — and nobody on your team is hired to fix it.

Is this you?

These are the three moments that bring growth-stage founders to UXDesigned.

You just lost an enterprise or mission-critical deal

The debrief said it wasn't about features. The prospect's Head of Product called the interface 'not enterprise-ready.' You had no one to rebut that in the room.

Your stakeholders asked about your customer strategy

You have a product roadmap. You have a feature backlog. You realised in that meeting you don't have an experience roadmap — and you didn't know how to say that.

Churn is up and it's not your price point

You've ruled out competition. You've reviewed the pricing. The data keeps pointing back at the product experience, and no one on your team knows how to diagnose it.

How the advisory engagement works

An embedded advisor, not a consultant with a deliverable.

01

Embed

I join your leadership cadence — typically 2–4 days per month. I read your retention data, your support tickets, your NPS comments. I sit where the decisions get made.

02

Diagnose

I identify which experience problems are costing you the most revenue and in what order they need to be fixed. Not a 60-page PDF. A prioritised, board-legible brief.

03

Direct

I give your product and engineering teams a sequenced plan they can execute without a full redesign. I stay in the room to defend the prioritisation.

04

Deliver

Monthly CX scorecards, experience roadmap updates, and a standing seat at the table for every major product decision.
