The problem I solve
- ✕Austin agency rates climbing toward Bay-Area levels as the scene heats up
- ✕Designers who hand off Figma files a separate dev then rebuilds (and breaks)
- ✕Slow timelines that miss a demo day or a raise
Quick answer
To hire a UI/UX and Framer designer for a Texas startup, look for one senior expert who designs and builds remotely with Central-Time overlap — covering Austin, Dallas and Houston — at well below local agency rates, with fixed quotes in 24 hours and projects live in 2–6 weeks.
How I approach it
Texas has become one of the most active startup markets in the US — Austin's tech migration, Dallas enterprise, Houston energy-tech — and local design rates have climbed with it. I'm a senior designer-developer who works remotely with Texas founders, handling both the product/UI design and the Framer (or React) build, so there's no agency markup and no handoff drift.
I overlap comfortably with Central Time, so the person you brief in the morning is shipping by the afternoon. I've delivered 75+ projects for SaaS and AI startups and I'm rated 4.93★ across 32 Contra reviews — the senior craft Austin agencies charge for, at independent speed and cost.
Every engagement is fixed-scope: a written quote within 24 hours, first designs in days, and most projects live in 2–6 weeks — fast enough for a Texas demo day or fundraising timeline.
