OUR SERVICES

Embedded Partnership

Embedded Partnership

We become part of your team - joining your channels, understanding your technology, investing in your success, and providing senior design support. From equity-aligned product leadership to flexible embedded support, we build partnerships that go deeper than deliverables.

Waldo joins your team to shape strategy, design products and support delivery over time.

Our Partnership Models

We offer flexible engagement structures for different stages and needs.

Product Partner

Working as an extension of the team - founding or established - we co-create the product, strategy and execution from the very beginning. We share the stakes, take ownership, and use our experience to help you make the right early calls and deliver with confidence.

Embedded Team

A dedicated designer or design team becomes part of your team. We work in your tools, attend your ceremonies, and become indistinguishable from your internal team — but with the flexibility to scale.

Advisory

Lightweight, ongoing involvement focused on strategic direction rather than hands-on delivery. Regular check-ins, roadmap reviews, and access to expertise when you need it.

Our Approach

Traditional agency relationships keep designers at arm's length. We think that's backwards.

Traditional agency relationships keep designers at arm's length.

We think that's backwards.

When we work together, we'll join your Slack, attend your stand-ups, and learn how your codebase actually works - not just your brand guidelines. This depth of context means we anticipate what you need and make decisions that compound over time. As your product grows, we grow with you - scaling up for launches, stepping back when you need space, staying close enough to pick up exactly where we left off. You get a team that feels like yours, without the overhead of building it yourself.

How We Work

We commit like co-founders, deliver like a world-class design team & turn uncertainty into clarity & results.
