Four ways to work together
Fixed-scope engagements with clear deliverables and a price agreed up front. Every project starts with your existing data and ends with a written handover.
Product design audit
A two-week review of one critical flow: analytics, support tickets, five user interviews and a heuristic pass. You get a ranked list of problems with evidence, effort and expected impact.
- Annotated flow review
- Interview synthesis
- Ranked opportunity backlog
- Readout with your team
From $7,500
Embedded product design
I join your product team for three to six months, own a problem area end to end and ship with your engineers. Best for onboarding, activation, complex workflows and data-heavy screens.
- Research plan and sessions
- Tested prototypes and flows
- Build-ready Figma files
- Weekly decision log
From $14,000/mo
Design system foundations
Tokens, core components and documentation built with your engineers, starting from your densest screens so the system holds up where your users spend their day.
- Token architecture in Figma and code
- 12 to 20 core components
- Contribution and review guide
- Adoption dashboard
From $28,000
Accessibility review
A WCAG 2.2 AA review of your key flows with fixes your team can ship, plus usability sessions with disabled participants when you need more than a checklist.
- Audit with severity and fixes
- Component remediation specs
- Sessions with disabled participants
- Half-day team workshop
From $9,000
Process
How we will work together
- 01
Intro call
Thirty minutes on the problem, your numbers and your timeline. If I'm not the right fit, I'll say so and suggest someone who is.
- 02
Scoped proposal
Within three working days: goals, the metrics we'll track, deliverables, a fixed price and a start date.
- 03
Research and design
Weekly check-ins, shared Figma files and a written decision log, so nothing important lives only in a meeting.
- 04
Handover
Annotated files, specs and a recorded walkthrough. I stay available for questions for 30 days after we wrap up.
What clients say
“Leila Haddad asked for our support tickets before asking for a brief. Two weeks later we had a ranked list of fixes, and the top three paid for the engagement within a quarter.”
Elena VargaHead of Product, Orchard HR“A rare designer who is as comfortable in a spreadsheet as in a usability session, often on the same afternoon. Our engineers asked to keep the decision log format.”
