Design Jam is a fractional design crew that works like your in-house team. Product, brand, and code, shipped in weekly sprints.

We scale with you. Ramp up for a push, dial back when it's quiet. You only pay for what you use.

Founded by Rui Melo, who led design through three exits in food delivery, including SkipTheDishes' sale to Just Eat. Skip is still a client today.

How We Work

Jamming with us

  1. Shape

    We start where you are. We plug into your design team, or we become it until you're ready to hire one.

  2. Sprint

    Weekly sprints. We break the work into small, pre-approved chunks and build them with you in shared Figma, Slack, and code. Your input lands every week, not at a big reveal.

  3. Build

    We build it, or your engineers do. Either way we stay through development, so eng isn't left holding the shovel without a plan.

  4. Ship & play it back

    We ship, then look at what landed, what didn't, and what to try next. That feeds the next cycle. No 80-slide victory lap.
