Focus: the first mile of design maturity for small B2B software teams. Think UX/UI consistency and brand alignment across the product, using LLM-ready design systems and improved design-to-code workflows.
Currently working with a funded AI-native B2B startup, getting new features launch-ready on a tight timeline. Before this, for the past year, helped Jiwambe's team to set up their design function and design their customer-facing fintech product.
Looking for long-term engagements to meaningfully level up design maturity, but also available for short, scoped sprints. From $450/day, depending on engagement shape.
Focus on AI-integrated software product design, design systems and design-to-code workflows. Currently designing Jiwambe's customer-facing fintech product end-to-end and building a parenting app (Village) with my partner.
The fit I'm after: small teams, hands-on founders, software product surfaces (not pitch decks or marketing sites). Like to work at the systems level (eg design-to-code, interaction patterns, craft consistency).
Looking for senior product designer / design engineer roles (B2B fractional contract or full-time). $400/day or $7-8K/mo depending on engagement shape.
Also available for short, scoped build sprints. Ask more: [email protected]

For teams with messy or inconsistent UI – I review 3–5 screens or flows and deliver focused feedback, Figma updates, and a prioritized action list covering UX, consistency, and early accessibility wins.
.
Design system sketch pack
For teams overwhelmed by UI duplication and design debt – I analyze your UI patterns and propose a scalable Figma component system with tokens, naming conventions, and (optional) dev-aligned notes or html/css examples.
.
Design-to-code process tuning
For teams struggling with slow or messy design handoff – I audit your design-to-dev workflow and suggest improvements, including refinements to your Figma files and process alignment with engineering.
.
Accessibility review (early stage)
For teams just beginning to consider accessibility – A lightweight audit of 2–3 key screens against WCAG 2.1/EAA standards, with an actionable checklist and UI recommendations.
.
Fractional design partner (ongoing)
For lean teams that need a reliable senior designer – Bi-weekly async support across UX, design systems, design-to-code workflows, and accessibility—adapting to your team's specific goals and workflows.

I’m Raigo — a senior product designer with 10+ years of experience, including 7+ focused on web and mobile apps. I’ve worked remotely with startups and digital teams across the EU and US.
My strengths lie in streamlining design workflows, building and scaling design systems, and collaborating tightly with product and engineering. I work well in async environments with high autonomy and accountability.
Lately I’ve been deepening my practice in accessibility (WCAG, EAA, ARIA), design engineering, and AI-enhanced workflows.
If your product needs clarity, structure, or faster delivery—I’d be glad to help.

Hi, I’m Raigo. I’m looking for new challenges and opportunities to grow as a professional and gain domain expertise—across the product design, business design, and development. Graft on every level.
Today focusing mainly on product design and development, but over the past (more than a) decade covered a broader range of design. Experienced many different roles, team dynamics and collaborations settings—as a freelancer, team member and as a co-starter for a short-lived (much learned from) venture—with different EU/US based startups and companies.
