## Services & availability

Artūras is open to the following engagements (remote, Europe/US time zones):

- **Part-time / fractional design lead** — ongoing part-time engagement leading product design for a startup or scale-up: strategy, UX/UI, design systems and team leadership without the cost of a full-time hire.
- **Contract product design** — fixed-scope UX/UI work on complex products (banking, fintech, health, SaaS): from research and flows to polished, developer-ready UI.
- **Design consultations & UX audits** — expert reviews of existing products: usability audits, conversion and onboarding reviews, design-system health checks.
- **Workshops & AI-assisted design** — facilitating product workshops and setting up modern AI-assisted design and prototyping workflows for teams.

Typical problems clients bring him: a complex fintech/banking app that needs a trustworthy, usable interface; a product that grew without a design system; an early-stage product that needs to go from idea to shipped design fast; a team that needs senior design leadership a few days a week.
