Product & UX Partnerships for SaaS teams

Ongoing product design and UX leadership for SaaS companies that need senior thinking, hands-on execution, and a trusted partner—without hiring a full-time role.

At Out West Branding, we work alongside product, engineering, and marketing teams to improve digital experiences over time—not just at launch.

Good product design doesn’t happen in isolation.

SaaS products evolve constantly. Roadmaps shift. Features expand. Assumptions get tested.

One-off UX projects can help—but real momentum comes from continuity. From someone who understands your product deeply, sees patterns across releases, and helps guide decisions as complexity increases.

That’s what our partnerships are designed for.

Embedded, adaptive, and senior-led.

Every engagement is tailored to fit the needs of the team—but most partnerships include some blend of:

  • Product UX strategy and roadmap input
  • Feature-level UX and interaction design
  • Wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI
  • User research and usability testing
  • Design system thinking and scalable UI patterns
  • Collaboration with product managers and engineering leads

You’re not outsourcing UX – you’re gaining an experienced product design partner who integrates into your workflow.

Built for teams in motion.

Our product partnerships are a strong fit for:

  • SaaS companies between funding rounds
  • Growing product teams without a senior UX lead
  • Founders who want a strategic thinking partner
  • Mid-size companies evolving internal tools or platforms

If your product changes monthly—not yearly—this model makes sense.

Flexible, ongoing, and aligned with your roadmap.

Most partnerships operate on a monthly retainer, scaled to match your product’s pace and complexity.

This structure allows us to:

  • Prioritize work as roadmaps evolve
  • Iterate quickly
  • Maintain continuity across releases
  • Focus on long-term product clarity—not just immediate deliverables

We typically work with a small number of product teams at a time to ensure depth of focus and responsiveness.

Practical, collaborative, and outcome-focused.

We believe strong product design balances clarity, speed, and rigor.

That means:

  • Asking hard questions early
  • Testing assumptions before scaling features
  • Designing systems—not just screens
  • Prioritizing usability over decoration

We aim to make your product simpler, more intuitive, and easier for your team to build upon.

When a project might be a better fit

If you’re looking for a one-time UX audit, a standalone feature design, or website design without ongoing collaboration, we’re happy to discuss that as well.

Many clients begin with a focused project before transitioning into a longer-term partnership.
