5–10+ years in UX strategy, ideally in an agency environment

Strong portfolio demonstrating research → strategy → IA/wireframes

Familiarity with CMS-driven websites (e.g., WordPress, Drupal, Shopify)
-
How we work
-
Project-based engagements aligned to client needs
-
Remote, primarily Eastern Time collaboration
-
Work is assigned based on fit, availability, and expertise
Hourly Rate Range: $45-$65 per hour
