Let's chat
We embed senior product designers directly into your org. They work in your tools, join your standups, and ship alongside your people.
At the senior end of the spectrum, our designers do more than execute. They strengthen how your team works: refining processes, evolving systems, improving handoffs. Not by imposing an opinion, but by earning trust and contributing where it's welcome.
Engagements are structured in 12-week blocks. Most start at 12 or 24 weeks with the opportunity to extend. 79% do. 57+ staff augmentation client relationships since 2019.
Whether you need to fill one or many roles, determine the role, seniority, weekly allocation, and duration with the ability to adjust any of the above at regular monthly or quarterly intervals.
When augmenting UX teams, we are often acting as either an extension of an existing UX team or as a net new team embedded with product teams and supporting design and XFN partners.
Need a brand designer, illustrator, motion designer, researcher, content strategist, or developer to help support a project? No problem, we can connect you with some of the best.
We work companies small to large. Capable of building zero to one products or help existing ones scale faster. We take pride in our deep knowledge of best practices that enable us to design intuitive user experiences that work.
We are experts in creating platform-agnostic, multi-brand design systems or simple ones if you’re just getting started. Set your team up to scale fast by establishing a design system early.
We help you de-risk decisions, better understand your users, determine the competitive landscape, and empower your teams to deliver value.
Most placements happen within 1–2 weeks. We maintain an active pool of vetted senior designers ready to embed immediately, with no lengthy recruiting cycles.
Forge is a design studio. Our designers work inside your tools and standups from day one. Every designer is vetted: roughly 80–90% of applicants don’t make it through. If a placement isn’t working, we make it right.
L4–L8 caliber (Senior through Principal). All have in-house experience at Meta, Google, Coinbase, Roblox, Airbnb, and similar companies.
12-week blocks, starting at 12 or 24 weeks with the option to extend. Most clients extend (roughly 3 in 4). Billing every four weeks. Allocation flexible from 20–40 hours per week.
Yes. About 1 in 4 relationships convert to full-time hires. Forge structures engagements so this is a natural outcome when it’s the right fit.
Forge stands behind every placement. If something isn’t working, we’ll diagnose the issue and find a resolution, including re-staffing if needed.
