Independent product design for founders who ship.
Twelve years, eighty-four product launches, zero agency overhead. Quang Nguyen is a senior product designer who partners directly with seed-to-Series A founders — from kickoff to launch, the same hands that pitched the work are the hands shipping it. Portfolio companies have collectively raised over $140M within twelve months of redesign.
A note from Quang
I run a one-person studio. After four years at IDEO and Hot Studio, I went independent in 2013, and I have stayed that way — no employees, no subcontractors, no agency partners. When you book a review, you talk to me. When we start a sprint, I am the one in the file. When a launch goes sideways at 11 pm, you email me and I answer inside seventy-two hours, weekdays.
The work I take tends to cluster: B2B SaaS dashboards, consumer mobile, fintech onboarding, and developer tools. Eighty-four launches later, seventy-one of those products are still in market. I do not take every brief — but the ones I do take, I finish. That is the whole pitch.
— Quang Nguyen, principal designer

Selected work, 2013–2025
Four launches. Four measurable outcomes.
The plates below read like editorial spreads because the work itself reads like editorial — measured, restrained, and built to survive a Series B redesign without throwing the whole thing away.
How the engagement works
Four operating promises, written before the contract.
These are not perks — they are the reason a solo practice can outperform an agency on speed, and the reason fixed-scope pricing actually means fixed scope.
-
01
Direct engagement, zero delegation.
Every project is personally led by Quang. No account managers, no juniors, no markup. The person who pitched the work is the person in the file. This is how 5.2-week MVPs ship without slipping into the second month.
-
02
Fixed-scope pricing, published on the site.
No hourly billing, no surprise change orders. Average engagement lands at $18,400. The scope we agree on day one is the scope you pay for on delivery day — and if a sprint needs an extra revision round, it is already included.
-
03
72-hour weekday response, guaranteed.
Founders do not lose days because a contractor went quiet. Every email and Slack ping gets a substantive reply inside 72 hours on weekdays — usually faster, occasionally a Sunday if a launch is on the line.
-
04
One full revision round inside every sprint.
Each sprint ships with a full revision round baked into the contract — not as a paid extra, not as a goodwill gesture. The work has to survive your investor demo, your QA pass, and your own second-guessing. That is built in.
We hired Quang to redesign our onboarding the week before our Series A closed. He shipped in three and a half weeks, answered every investor question about the product surface, and stayed on for the launch. The agency we talked to before him quoted twelve weeks and a team of four. We never looked back.
