We think like founders and
design like product builders

Designers who think like founders and act like product builders.

We're more than just designers.
We're a mix of a product manager, growth specialist, product designer and creative director.

You scaled your SaaS to $1M ARR and you need someone to lead your product's UX.

Someone who figures it out. Someone who owns UX end to end and brings your ideas to life, exactly the way you'd build them yourself, and even better.

That's exactly what we do at Love At First Try.

We lead and own your SaaS UX and growth.

We prioritize what brings real growth. We understand engineering velocity, cost, and what a growth loop actually is — and design to move the business forward, not to get featured on Dribbble.

Our designers are veterans — 10+ years at companies like Zapier, who realized they're happiest in small teams where they can fully lead design instead of pushing pixels under a PM.

That's the profile. You get that designer and we provide the infrastructure that keeps them world-class.
