Design Team Extension

Arounda's Design Team Extension service provides flexible, scalable design resources to augment in-house Web3 product teams. Whether you need part-time design support or a full-time embedded designer, Arounda integrates seamlessly with your team's workflows and tools to accelerate product development.

Service Model

Flexible team augmentation including dedicated designers integrated with your team (part-time or full-time), expertise across UI/UX design, brand design, and product strategy, seamless integration with your workflows (Slack, Figma, Jira, Linear), direct communication and collaboration, and scalable capacity that grows with project needs.

Designer Expertise

Arounda provides experienced designers with specializations including UI/UX design for Web3 applications, brand identity and visual design, product design and user research, frontend development (HTML/CSS/React), and motion design and prototyping.

Engagement Benefits

Cost-effective alternative to full-time hiring with reduced overhead, immediate access to experienced Web3 designers without recruitment delays, flexibility to scale capacity up or down based on project phases, diverse skill sets without maintaining large in-house team, and knowledge transfer and best practices sharing with internal team.

Typical Use Cases

Ideal for Web3 projects experiencing temporary capacity constraints during product launches or major updates, startups validating product direction before committing to full-time hires, enterprises supplementing in-house design teams with specialized Web3 expertise, agencies white-labeling design services for their clients, and projects requiring specific skills (e.g., motion design, illustration) on limited basis.

Integration Approach

Arounda's team extension designers integrate through onboarding to team processes and brand guidelines, regular standups and sprint participation, use of client's design tools and systems (Figma, Sketch, Abstract), direct communication via Slack or preferred channels, and transparent time tracking and reporting.
