Designer / founder — consulting with early and scaling teams
I help ambitious teams turn messy product moments into clear, usable systems.
I’m unha engels, a designer and founder partnering with clients on product strategy, brand-to-product translation, and design systems that make the next stage feel inevitable.
Available for select consulting projects. 2026
Strategy, interface craft, and founder-grade clarity.
Comfortable moving between strategy rooms, design tools, and the realities of shipping.
Selected work
Projects that connect business intent with product clarity.
A concise edit of founder-led, product-led, and system-heavy engagements.
Consulting focus
The work is most useful when the next step is unclear but important.
Strategic clarity
Positioning, priorities, and the few decisions that make the rest of the product easier to shape.
Founder partnership
High-trust collaboration for founders who need taste, urgency, and a second brain on the product story.
Typical rhythm: 2–6 week advisory sprints, focused workshops, or embedded design leadership while a team gets through a pivotal product moment.
I work best as a thinking partner who can make strategy tangible: turning ambiguity into product direction, interface decisions, and systems teams can actually use.
