Why smart teams go fractional
Approach
Fractional product and design teams bring the speed, depth, and flexibility that traditional agencies and full-time hires often can’t match:
Senior Talent
You work with the people doing the work—no account managers, no junior handoffs, no translation layers.
Speed, No Risk
You get strategic thinking and execution from day one—without the overhead, hiring delays, or long-term commitment of a full-time hire.

Built for Messy
Most agencies need defined scopes and timelines. We do our best work when things are messy—helping you shape the vision, test assumptions, and move fast when it matters.

Fully Embedded
We join Slack. We ship weekly. We give feedback that improves the product, not just the pixels. We’re more like co-founders than vendors.

Hello.
I’m Gev.
Fractional
Head of Design
One of the earliest lessons I learned was at Facebook in 2007. I was designing a photo contest for Gossip Girl and assumed people wouldn’t post photos online. Two days later, we had over half a million entries. That taught me to design for real behavior—not my own biases.
Years later, I led the design team at Konrad, mentoring designers now at Tesla, Google, and Spotify. But leading a big team wasn’t the goal. I wanted to go deeper—to help define what to build, not just design the screens. That shift pushed me out of the agency world and into startup trenches.
I started Gev Design to do the kind of work I’d want to hire myself for: embedded, strategic, and fast. We work directly with founders and product leads—no layers, no junior handoffs—and focus on building the right thing, clearly and quickly. It’s not just design. It’s upstream product thinking.
