What kind of work we take on
Early stage startups
Perhaps you need to tell your story for fundraising, or perhaps you have fit, now you need to execute.
Let’s talkMid stage small companies
You need a little bit of design, an experienced front end engineer, a little PM or service design, but there isn't enough for a full time PM, Designer, or engineer
Let’s talkInnovation teams in established orgs
Helpful product guidance, designers that understand code, stakeholder alignment to unblock and drive internal adoption. Benefit from having the same person consistently embedded in your team and its rituals

A track record dealing with unusual and difficult roadmap and design challenges involving complex systems
We’ve had the privilege of exploring first-of-a-kind product and system design that many PMs and designers never touch in a career.
- Compliance heavy industries like finance, insurance, healthcare
- Demand-based pricing engines
- Configuration of complex engineered structures
- Visual programming and data mapping for non-engineers
- ML-based detection of fake goods, phishing, and pirated content
- Reliability of real-time, simultaneous teaching tools in large lecture halls
- VR-based navigation and control
- Managed pivots: understanding misses, deeply understanding customers, an iterating to get to fit.
Process
An engineering-biased approach to design. Build to learn and settle arguments with data
With complex visualization or process, we learn faster with real data in place. As a result we start with engineered prototypes, test often, focus on what drives usability and utlity, then finish with professional visual polish.
Research deliverables mix experiential with decision tools
We’ll make the journey maps and personas. We will also insist on taking key stakeholders with us on the process of interviews or user tests- as the shared dirct experience helps decision making and consensus.
Go all the way
We’ve found over time that follow-thru is important above all else - we will sit with you from initial concept thru however many iterations happen to drive fit.
No 'OMG How many hours?!' billing surprises
Start with an affordable fix-fee ‘get to know you project’, then move to a monthly, fixed retainer with high-level but measureable objectives. This provides for the budget consistency you need as variables, projects, and priorities shift.
What partners say
Jeremy is a master at UX design, but is also a great product manager and has the ability to figure out the work that can make the most impact. He came into Sauce when we needed immediate improvements to our funnel and he was key in helping us succeed.
Beginning with understanding how our customers interact with our product, through mockups, markup, and more—he delivered everything he promised, on time, and at high quality. I would recommend him to anyone interested in improving their product’s UX and customer experience, and would certainly work with him again.
Adam Christian,
Head of Engineering, Sauce Labs
Jeremy was one of my two co-founders at Ithority, a startup we bootstrapped and sold, and we never could have done it without him. His product insights were essential, and he built the front end of the web application. His work ethic and moral fiber are as good as it gets.
You will find Jeremy deeply insightful on business; as a designer he is brilliant with gnarly, complex data problems. Many designers can do pretty; few take such a deep interest in why someone would use a product and how they get the most from it. He carves into problems with rigor and intensity—and the products he touches are better for it.
