Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do you integrate with our existing tools and processes? A: We're flexible and adaptable. We can work with your preferred design tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, etc.), project management platforms (JIRA, Asana, Trello), and communication channels (Slack, Microsoft Teams, email) to ensure a smooth, non-disruptive integration.

Q: Is Design Supervision the same as a Design Lead? A: While Design Supervision provides many of the benefits of a senior Design Lead (strategic guidance, quality control, mentorship), it's typically an external, more flexible service. It can supplement an existing team lacking a dedicated lead or provide an unbiased external perspective to an established team.

Q: What kind of projects can you supervise? A: We have experience across a wide range of projects, including web applications, mobile apps (iOS/Android), marketing websites, SaaS platforms, e-commerce solutions, and more. Our expertise spans UX research, UI design, interaction design, and design systems.

Q: How quickly can we get started? A: After an initial consultation and agreement on scope, we can typically commence supervision within a few business days, depending on our current availability.
