How we help

For over 18 years, we’ve been trusted thought partners to hundreds of Designers, Managers, and Senior Leaders. Tap into valuable resources, fresh ideas, and the clarity that only an outside perspective can provide.

Thought Partnerships

From Design Director to Partner, we match you with a DesignMap expert based on your experience and goals. After an initial intake to set goals and expectations, we meet monthly to discuss important topics, make plans, and follow up on tasks. Throughout the partnership, we’ll share resources, check-in async, and support you as needed.

Fractional Design Leader

Gain an interim design leader who can sit alongside your internal leadership team, mentor staff, or serve as a thought partner to advance day-to-day work through weekly design reviews and one-on-ones. A fractional design leader can also support making a permanent hire for the role, including job descriptions, individual recommendations, and serving on hiring panels.
