Testimonials
★★★★★
I had the pleasure of working with Gytis for a long time, and he has consistently been one of the most thoughtful and dependable product designers I’ve worked with.
Gytis thinks deeply about the product, the user, and the business context behind every design decision. He is very strong at turning ambiguous ideas into clear, polished, usable experiences, and he brings a high level of taste and discipline to the work.
Gytis is someone I could trust with important product problems. He communicates clearly, takes feedback well, and has a calm, mature way of moving projects forward even when the direction is still evolving. That combination of creativity, judgment, and ownership made him a real partner to the product team!

Gytis is deeply professional, dependable, and a real pleasure to work with.

He finds a way to approach uncertain work analytically and thoroughly, and helps answer the questions we hadn't yet thought to ask. He is a pro at taking the often chaotic, undefined input and getting back to us with results that are logical, structured, and well-argued. I would gladly recommend Gytis to anyone building new, unconventional solutions who needs a steady partner to help them move through the uncertainty with confidence.

Additional info
How do I know if this is the right fit for our product?
If your product has grown faster than the design has kept up — inconsistencies are compiling, handoffs are breaking, and you know something needs to change but aren't sure where to start — that's exactly what this service is built for. The free trial is a zero-risk way to find out.
What happens during the free 3-day trial?
The trial is not just a small design task. We use those first days to deeply understand your product, workflows, users, market, and team dynamics.
We audit the product experience, review the current design and development process, identify where friction and inconsistency are coming from, and uncover the highest-impact opportunities to improve the product.
By the end of the trial, you will already have actionable insights, strategic direction, and a clear understanding of where to focus first — alongside real design work delivered inside your product environment.
What does the monthly price cover?
The monthly price covers both your dedicated designer and the Head of Design’s oversight. There are no extra fees for reviews, feedback, or strategy calls. The monthly rate depends on the capacity you choose—full-time starts at $16,000, part-time at $8,000.
Why do you require a 2-month minimum?
Great design takes context. We spend the first few weeks really getting to know your product, users, and team’s working style. The 2-month minimum ensures we can make meaningful progress, not just surface-level changes. After two months, you can continue month-to-month and pause or cancel anytime with 14 days’ notice.
Can I start part-time and increase later?
Yes. Many clients start part-time to try our service, then switch to full-time after seeing the results. You can increase or decrease your subscription at any time—we’ll just update your capacity and monthly rate for the next month.
How is the full-time subscription different from the part-time subscription?
The quality standard and team structure are identical — both include the designer and Head of Design pairing. The difference is capacity. Full-time means your designer is working on your product five days a week. Part-time is roughly two to three days per week. The right choice depends on how much design work your product generates consistently.
How soon can you start?
We can usually start within 48 to 72 hours after our call. Most of the time, the free 3-day trial starts the same week you contact us. There’s no long onboarding—work typically starts in the first week.
What if we’re not happy with the work?
If you’re not satisfied, we fix it. The Head of Design’s role is to catch issues before you see them, but if something isn’t right, we’ll revise it until it meets your expectations. We’re committed to getting it right. If the engagement truly isn’t working, you can pause or cancel at any time after the first two months with 14 days' notice.
