For designers
You're not here to make things pretty.
You solve real problems. We connect you with teams that treat design that way, for full-time roles, fractional engagements and contracts.
The search is exhausting
You send it into a void and hear nothing back.
Ghosting is at a three-year high, more than half of applicants got no response at all last year, and roughly a third of posted roles were never going to be filled.
Applying cold
- Hundreds of applications, most of them into a void
- A take-home that costs you a weekend, then silence
- Ghost jobs that were never going to be filled
- No feedback, ever, so there's nothing to learn from
- You're one résumé in a stack of three hundred
Coming through us
- We introduce you to a named hiring manager, with context
- A person reads your work, so you don't prove yourself from scratch
- Only live roles, at companies we have vetted ourselves
- You always hear back from us, either way
Why join
We don't just cheer you on.
We've been design managers. We know what the hiring side is looking for, and we coach you through it instead of forwarding your résumé and hoping.
We've sat in the hiring seat
We've hired and led designers. You get a read on the role and the team before you walk in.
We vet the company too
If design is decoration there, we don't work with them. Every role is somewhere design changes the outcome.
Roles that fit
You only hear from us when something fits. No mass emails to the entire network.
You set your rate
You name your day rate, and that's what you're paid. No silent discounting.
Paperwork handled
Statements of work, MSAs, invoicing and chasing late payment. We take it off your plate.
No exclusivity, no fee
Keep your own clients and your own pipeline. Nothing to pay, ever. Pause whenever life demands it.
Process
How joining works.
No gauntlet. Share your work once, and we come to you when something fits.
- 01
Share your work
Your portfolio, your résumé and what you're looking for. About five minutes.
- 02
A person reads it
Not a keyword filter. We may come back to talk it through if we want to understand something.
- 03
We come to you when it fits
When a role matches what you do and what you want, you hear from us. Not before.
- 04
We make the introduction
You go in with context on the team and the role, and we stay with it through the offer.
Ready for work worth doing?
About five minutes to introduce yourself. You'll hear back within a week, either way.
