I'm Patrick 
, for a decade I've designed and built delightful products in small teams.
Building a great product takes more than design and code. Research. The right problem. A solution that fits. Performance that holds. And the bit of joy that brings people back.
Pulling all of that together pulls a small team off its roadmap. That's where I come in. I work in your team, or beside it, and own a piece of it end to end, so the rest of you keep focus.
Leverage.
AI-paired, human-owned.
Claude drafts, I review and edit. That's 2 to 3x output without the slop, and every line of code gets read by me before it gets committed.
Design and build in one brain.
No Figma-to-Jira tax, no handoff meetings, no "that's not quite what I meant." The person making the pixel decisions is the person writing the JSX.
Recently. Building internal platforms running key parts of a £20m+ business, and pontus.fm, my own product.
Working together. Two ways in. Shipped features either way.
Start with a sprint.
Scoped deliverable. Simplest way to try working together.

Right fit.
01. You're a small software team shipping fast, and the "we'll get to it" backlog never gets got to.
02. You've got a conversion or growth problem that's really a UX problem in disguise.
03. You're in audio, podcasting, or creator tools and want someone who already knows the space.
04. You need design and engineering in one brain, without a hire or an agency layer.
05. You've got a specific feature or flow that needs to ship, not eventually.
