"We cannot recommend Gytis Mark more highly. Their designs for our LPGA Tournament turned out better than we could have asked for and our client said it's the best-looking site on the Professional Tour. Their attention to detail, ability to hit deadlines and wonderful communication made them a pleasure to work with. We would be lucky to work with them again!"

"I came to Gytis looking for web designer. What I quickly realized is that Gytis's approach to design is to thoroughly immerse himself in the study of a client's company and then construct an information architecture which accurately and directly accomplishes the most important goals for the business. I have worked with all kinds of designers and creatives in the past, and Gytis stands head and shoulders above them all.”

① Symptoms

What's going on with your product?

01

Your product is quietly deteriorating

Handoffs break, the design system gets ignored, and each sprint adds another small inconsistency nobody has time to fix.

02

You feel like you are losing control

You care deeply about the product, but you can't even point to exactly where things went wrong.

03

Product design lacks leadership and vision

When design team lacks clear vision, repeatable process and constructive feedback, it cannot steer the product in the right direction.

④ Reviews

Deep in the trenches with us

I had the pleasure of working with Gytis for a long time, and he has consistently been one of the most thoughtful and dependable product designers I’ve worked with.

What I always appreciated about Gytis is that he doesn’t just make things look good. He thinks deeply about the product, the user, and the business context behind every design decision. He is very strong at turning ambiguous ideas into clear, polished, usable experiences, and he brings a high level of taste and discipline to the work.

Gytis is someone I could trust with important product problems. He communicates clearly, takes feedback well, and has a calm, mature way of moving projects forward even when the direction is still evolving. That combination of creativity, judgment, and ownership made him a real partner to the product team!

I’d highly recommend Gytis to any company looking for a product-minded designer who can bring both craft and strategic thinking to the table. He’s talented, dependable, and genuinely great to work with.

Mistakes happen every day

Fix what matters most.

Micromanagement is slowing you down.

We work without it.

It's fun to be in the trenches with designers as they build your MVP, but constantly vetting every design decision quickly becomes a bottleneck. Time spent growing your product is lost to chasing pixels.

Great designers thrive with a clear vision and the autonomy to execute it their way. We work autonomously and take ownership of decisions, flag risks early, and keep progress moving without constant supervision. That way you can focus on leading the business forward.

Poor communication costs you time and money.

We keep it tight so nothing falls through.

Seeing designs finally approved by all stakeholders and ready to meet users at scale, is deeply satisfying. But nothing is more frustrating than seeing your designs end up looking and behaving nothing like what
you intended. Final designs, even after approval, often lack details devs need to implement without guesswork.

This is where great communication matters. Managers, designers, and engineers all think differently and need information presented in their own way. Delivering true clarity takes years of real-world experience and countless conversations across product teams to get just right.

Old-school hiring is too slow and too expensive.

We join your team within 48 hours.

It takes months to find a good hire and months more to see results. Few things are worse than losing a great candidate after onboarding—or after the first day. Suddenly, you’re out of time and forced to hire expensive agencies that don’t care about your long-term success.

Traditional hiring takes months. We can have a designer and a Head of Design working in your product within 48 hours — no recruiting, no onboarding overhead.

⑧ Additional info

Common questions.

Why do teams choose you over hiring internally?

Hiring experienced product designers internally can take months before useful output starts appearing. We compress that entire process into days.

We join your team within 48 hours, onboard into your product unusually fast, and begin delivering contextual, development-ready work within the first week.

Teams hire us when they need senior-level execution immediately without the recruiting delays, onboarding overhead, or management burden.

What does the Head of Design actually do?

The Head of Design joins product planning, reviews all design work before it reaches you, maintains process standards, and helps with strategic decisions. They don’t do daily Figma work—instead, they make sure everything you receive is high quality and fits your product direction.

Why can’t we just hire the Head of Design and pair them with our own designer?

Our approach relies on a team that already works closely together and is used to this model. This teamwork ensures consistent, high-quality results.

How is this combo better than just hiring a senior UX designer?

An experienced designer is valuable for daily execution, but that alone often isn’t enough to protect and grow your product. Product strategy, design system oversight, quality assurance, product experience consistency, and feature prioritization require a separate skill set. Our model pairs a Head of Design with an experienced designer, working as a tight team. This lets us deliver high-level design thinking and fast daily execution, achieving better results.

How does this partnership help us save and make money?

A declining product costs you customers daily. Slow growth is even more expensive. If design issues go unchecked, you’ll eventually need a costly, year-long redesign—often over $100k—and risk losing even more users.

What types of products can you design?

We work with AI-powered and data-heavy web applications — SaaS platforms, internal tools, dashboards, fintech, healthcare, and operational systems with complex workflows. Most teams come to us when the product has grown quickly and the UX is struggling to keep up.

We are not a branding studio or a marketing website agency unless it is part of a larger product redesign engagement.

What does the monthly price cover?

The monthly price covers both your dedicated designer and the Head of Design’s oversight. There are no extra fees for reviews, feedback, or strategy calls. The monthly rate depends on the capacity you choose—full-time starts at $16,000, part-time at $8,000.

Why do you require a 2-month minimum?

Great design takes context. We spend the first few weeks really getting to know your product, users, and team’s working style. The 2-month minimum ensures we can make meaningful progress, not just surface-level changes. After two months, you can continue month-to-month and pause or cancel anytime with 14 days’ notice.

Can I start part-time and increase later?

Yes. Many clients start part-time to try our service, then switch to full-time after seeing the results. You can increase or decrease your subscription at any time—we’ll just update your capacity and monthly rate for the next month.

How is the full-time subscription different from the part-time subscription?

The quality standard and team structure are identical — both include the designer and Head of Design pairing. The difference is capacity. Full-time means your designer is working on your product five days a week. Part-time is roughly two to three days per week. The right choice depends on how much design work your product generates consistently.

How soon can you start?

We can usually start within 48 to 72 hours after our call. Most of the time, the free 3-day trial starts the same week you contact us. There’s no long onboarding—work typically starts in the first week.

What happens during the free 3-day trial?

The trial is not just a small design task. We use those first days to deeply understand your product, workflows, users, market, and team dynamics.

We audit the product experience, review the current design and development process, identify where friction and inconsistency are coming from, and uncover the highest-impact opportunities to improve the product.

By the end of the trial, you will already have actionable insights, strategic direction, and a clear understanding of where to focus first — alongside real design work delivered inside your product environment.

What if we’re not happy with the work?

If you’re not satisfied, we fix it. The Head of Design’s role is to catch issues before you see them, but if something isn’t right, we’ll revise it until it meets your expectations. We’re committed to getting it right. If the engagement truly isn’t working, you can pause or cancel at any time after the first two months with 14 days' notice.

How do I know if this is the right fit for our product?

If your product has grown faster than the design has kept up — inconsistencies are compiling, handoffs are breaking, and you know something needs to change but aren't sure where to start — that's exactly what this service is built for. The free trial is a low-risk way to find out.
