Alongside full-time leadership roles, I take a small number of consulting engagements. The work is mine — the same judgment, systems, and AI-augmented pipeline documented across this site. The paperwork is Ellev8 Solutions LLC: a single-member firm built for clean corp-to-corp contracting with enterprise procurement.
For teams that need a design leader before they need a full-time one
Player-coach leadership on a fractional basis: design direction and critique rhythm, hiring and team development, design-systems governance, stakeholder alignment at the executive level — and hands-on work on the critical path when it matters. The operating model is the one documented in the player-coach case study: direct the vision, ship the work.
Typical fit: Series A–D product orgs, or enterprises bridging a leadership gap
For design teams that bought the tools and haven't seen the compression
I install the operating system: agentic pipelines under design governance, token architecture that makes generated UI production-safe, human-gate placement, and the eval discipline that keeps quality up as volume goes up. Built from the working system in the agentic operations case study — not a slide deck about one.
Typical fit: design orgs of 5–50 adopting AI beyond individual tinkering
"You're hiring the person. The LLC is just how the invoice arrives."
