Senior product design execution for fast-moving companies.

I've designed products across fintech, SaaS, marketplaces, for 11 years. I work with companies who need production-ready design without the meeting overhead.

What's slowing you down?

Most companies I work with are dealing with one or more of these.

Lack of speed

Your engineers are ready to ship. Designs aren't. Your Q1 roadmap is slipping to Q2 because design can't keep up.

Inconsistent product

You're adding designers, but quality is dropping More hands, more inconsistency. No one owns the big picture.

Skills mismatch

They're great at UI but can't do UX strategy. They deliver beautiful pixels but with zero product thinking.

Lack of ownership

You're paying for a designer, but doing the product thinking yourself. You wanted a partner who challenges assumptions.

Delivery friction

Hand-offs are nightmares. Designs have missing states and unclear specs. Engineers come back with 50 questions every time.

Bad hiring options

Full-time hire: 3 months and $180K+, might not work out. Agency: Slow, expensive and bloated. Freelancer: Inconsistent and disappears.

Sounds familiar?

Here's what changes

Same design challenges. Different outcomes.

❌ Stalled roadmap → ✅ Ship 2-3 features per month

❌ Inconsistent product → ✅ Cohesive design that scales

❌ Skills mismatch → ✅ Designs that move your metrics

❌ Lack of ownership → ✅ Autonomous execution + accountability

❌ Delivery friction → ✅ Engineers ship without blockers

❌ Bad hiring options → ✅ Senior execution, zero hiring risk

❌ Stalled roadmap → ✅ Ship 2-3 features per month

I'm Diego. I've designed for Venmo (70M+ users), Procore (10K+ customers), Shipt (300K+ shoppers) and delivered for 12 industries over my 11 years of experience. I believe great design requires deep product knowledge, not surface-level contract work. When working with me, I get to learn your product deeply, understand your constraints, and ship consistently.

This is my offer

I keep it simple. Price in USD.
