Your product looks like a prototype
Investors judge the UI before they read the deck. Raw screens cost you credibility in the room — and sometimes the term sheet.
The design team you’d hire
— without the 9-month hire.
A senior design team that plugs into your product, not a project you have to manage. We connect design decisions to adoption, conversion, usability and business goals. Our clients have raised $1B+ combined.

A hire is half a year away.
Your runway isn’t.
Hiring and onboarding a senior product designer takes 3–6 months. $150–200k plus equity, taxes and benefits. Average tenure is under two years, then you do it again.
Design blocks your engineers
Specs change mid-sprint. Handoff is a Figma link and a prayer. Your team rebuilds the same screen three times.
Freelancers restart from zero every time
New contractor, new onboarding, new explanation of what your product does. Nobody accumulates context on your product.
Design that moves product metrics
— not just screens
Product UX/UI design
Core flows, new features, and the screens your users live in. Activation, retention and conversion are the scoreboard.
AI & agent interface design
Chat, copilot, agent-run and human-in-the-loop patterns. Designing for probabilistic output is its own discipline — we have done it repeatedly.
Product redesign
Legacy UI to product-grade. Migrated incrementally so you never ship a big-bang rewrite.
Design systems
Figma components, tokens and dev-ready specs. Your engineers stop asking questions.
MVP from zero
Four weeks, idea to a working product. Fixed scope, fixed price.
UX research & audit
Where users drop off and why. Findings tied to specific screens, not a 40-page PDF.

The output
IncludedDesigns that help your product grow — new flows, redesigns and the screens that move your metrics. Dev-ready Figma files with specs and components, and a design system maintained as the product grows.
The process
IncludedA weekly sync call, an async Slack channel with the team, and regular updates — no black box. The same team stays on your product, so the context never resets.

From first message to shipped screens
Every step has a date attached. The last one is the point: a rhythm your team can plan around.
- Day 0–1: Kickoff call. Twenty minutes on your product and metrics. If we are not the right fit, we say so.
- Day 1–3: Free trial. One real screen from your actual product. No payment, no contract.
- Week 1: Onboarding & audit. We map your product, users and UX debt. A prioritized list of what to fix first.
- Weeks 2–4: First shipping cycle. Design, review, iterate, hand off. Specs your engineers can build from.
- Month 2+: Ongoing partnership. A weekly rhythm your team can plan around. The same team, moving faster each month.

Best fit
— and where we’re not
Best fitProbably not a fit
AI or B2B SaaS, Seed to Series BA category we would be learning on your budget
Nought to two designers in-houseThree or more strong designers in-house

Five reasons this works
where contractors don’t
Track record, speed, process, retention and no lock-in — in that order.
- Track record: Track record. Our clients have raised over $1B combined. We have designed for AI agents, devtools, LLM infrastructure and vertical AI in health, legal and finance. We are not learning your category on your budget.
- Speed: Speed. Trial results in 3 working days. The full team ramped in one week.
- Process: Process. Weekly syncs, regular updates and a dev-ready handoff. Your CTO gets clear specs that do not change mid-sprint. Your PM always knows what is in flight.
- Retention & context: Retention & context. The same team stays on your product and keeps what it has learned, instead of losing it between contracts. Month six is faster than month one — the opposite of how contractors work.
- No lock-in: No lock-in. Start with a free 3-day trial, then a small first project. Move to a retainer only when you have seen the work. Discounts if you commit longer, but that is your choice, not a condition.
“About a week ago, we went a bit viral with 10k users in 2 days and we received a lot of positive feedback about the design - so thank you Glow for that!”

Frequently
asked questions
How does the 3-day free trial work?
You send us a screen or flow you want improved. Within three days you get one real screen from your actual product — designed, not mocked up. No payment, no contract, and no obligation to continue.

What if I only need one project?
Start with the free trial, a Discovery Week at $3,500, or a fixed-price MVP — no retainer commitment in any of them. You move to a retainer only if and when you want design to keep pace with your product.

Your Clutch profile lists projects from $10,000+. How does that work with the retainer?
Those are fixed-scope project rates, and they still stand. The low-commitment ways in are the free trial, a $3,500 Discovery Week and a fixed-price MVP. The retainer is ongoing capacity for teams whose product changes weekly — you scale up to it only when that is true.

How is this different from hiring a designer?
Hiring and onboarding a senior product designer takes 3–6 months. Plus $150–200k a year with equity and benefits. We start in 3 days, and you get a design lead reviewing the work alongside the designer rather than one person carrying it alone.

Do you work with non-AI SaaS?
Yes, though our deepest expertise is in AI products. If you reach out we will tell you honestly whether we are the right team for what you are building.

What do I actually get each month?
Design work focused on what moves your product — new flows, redesigns, the screens that matter most that week. We prioritize with you rather than counting screens, because a complex screen and a simple one are not the same work.

Do I talk to the designer or to a manager?
Your project manager is your point of contact and keeps everything on track, and you can talk to the designer directly whenever you need to. You get continuity without having to manage the project yourself.
