When it helps
Senior Design Help When the Work Is Close
Maybe the site feels dated, the product is harder to use than it should be, or the brand has drifted.

FAQ
Questions About Design Consulting
Quick answers on scope, fit, remote work, and how consulting plugs into an existing team.
01 What is design consulting?
Design consulting gives your team senior outside perspective before a website, product, brand, or campaign moves into production. Depending on the problem, that can mean an audit, clearer priorities, creative direction, or hands-on design.
02 When should a company hire a design consultant?
Bring me in when the work is close but decisions are getting circular: the website feels dated, a product flow is hard to follow, or the brand no longer holds together. I’ll identify the highest-impact fixes and help decide what to change now, rebuild later, or leave alone.
03 Can we start with a website or UX audit?
Yes. An audit is often the easiest place to start when you know something needs work but are not ready to commit to a full redesign. I can review the experience, identify the highest-impact problems, and give your team a prioritized plan.
04 Can you work with our existing designer, developer, or marketing team?
Yes. The consulting can plug into the team you already have. I can review work, clarify direction, shape design systems, prepare notes for developers, or help your team make sharper decisions before they build.
05 How is this different from hiring a design agency?
A design agency is usually built for larger production teams and full-service projects. Design consulting is more focused. You get senior creative direction, a sharper diagnosis, and practical next steps for your website, UX, brand, or marketing design before deciding whether you need a full rebuild, an internal team, an agency, or just a clearer path forward.
06 Do you only advise, or can you also design?
Both. Some projects only need an audit and direction. Others need hands-on design support, page layouts, UX flows, brand cleanup, or creative direction through execution.
07 Do you offer ongoing fractional creative direction?
Yes. I can stay involved as a fractional creative director to review work, guide visual decisions, maintain standards, and help your team decide what to tackle next.
08 Do you work outside Utah?
Yes. Most consulting work happens remotely, and I work with companies around the world. I’m also available for Salt Lake City and other Utah-based projects when local collaboration helps.
