Your On-Demand Senior Design Team

Plug in experienced SaaS/AI product designers to boost velocity—no full-time hire needed.

Context

You’re moving fast—weekly releases, constant feature requests—but your design capacity is stretched thin. Your PMs or engineers are waiting on UI specs, or junior designers need senior guidance. Rather than hiring (time-consuming and risky), we embed senior designers into your team.

Problems

  • Product backlog piles up because design is the bottleneck (feature requests waiting).
  • Inconsistent interface where different designers worked in isolation.
  • Junior designers or devs lack UX oversight (missing heuristics: error prevention, feedback loops).
  • Quality suffers under deadline pressure (suboptimal layouts, missing states).
  • No clear owner for the design system or quality assurance.

Leighton Asia’s brand refreshment will help position the company to meet the challenges of future, as it seeks to lead the industry in technological innovation and sustainable building practices to deliver long-lasting value for its clients.

Our Process (Snapshot):

Step 1

1. Weekly Collaboration

We align on priorities (via backlog or sprint planning). You send requirements; we produce wireframes/UI and hand off to dev. This is an iterative sprint-based model.

2. Design Execution

We tackle new features, redesign tasks, and UX improvements as needed. Our designers act like in-house senior staff.

3. Quality Assurance

We review UI at each milestone and perform design QA (checking consistency, accessibility) before dev merges.

4. Strategy & Mentorship

We also help refine your product’s design strategy (e.g. improving your existing design system) and mentor any in-house designers.

Deliverables

Weekly Design Outputs

Delivering wireframes or UI mockups for assigned screens and product tasks.

Updates to UI components

Shipping updates to design system components, states, variants, and complex interaction prototypes.

UX Review & Feedback

Get design review reports with practical UX feedback on existing screens.

Outcomes

Your team ships features faster and cleaner. Backlogs shrink (target: 25–50% increase in throughput). New features maintain the same high polish as older ones, lifting overall product quality. Founders and PMs get breathing room, focusing on strategy instead of pixel-pushing. Teams report fewer design revision cycles (we estimate ~30% fewer QA rejections on UI) and a smoother handoff to developers (e.g. we use tools like Zeplin or Figma Inspect for specs).
