What we work on

We can own day-to-day design execution – from early concepts to shipped interfaces. Work happens directly inside your team, alongside engineering, without handoffs or translation loss.
We build interactive prototypes to explore new ideas, align stakeholders, and de-risk decisions early. Prototypes are treated as working artifacts – tools for thinking, testing, and moving forward.
We support efficient, pragmatic research to inform product decisions – user interviews, concept testing, and rapid feedback loops. Research is scoped to unblock progress, not slow it down.
We help teams create and evolve design systems that support speed at scale. Systems are built to be practical, flexible, and grounded in how teams actually work – not over-engineered from day one.

Rapid

Hiring senior product talent takes months. Momentum doesn’t. We embed in as few as 2 days so you can keep shipping while building long-term capacity.
Strategic

Our designers and PMs operate with the context and confidence to make decisions, not wait for them. That means fewer cycles, clearer tradeoffs, and less downstream rework.
Embedded

We work inside your tools, rituals, and team — not around them. No handoffs, no translation layers, and no agency friction slowing things down.
Autonomous

Our designers and product leaders don’t need hand-holding. They self-direct, collaborate directly with engineers, and make decisions with confidence.

Engagements are month-to-month, with a 2 month minimum initial commitment.

“Parker was an awesome product design partner for us. He was excellent at zooming out and scoping big problems and subsequently producing high quality product designs that matched our existing design system.”

—Ashland, CEO @ Because
“Parker's guidance made an otherwise overwhelming process enjoyable, and he went beyond aesthetics to develop a product that spoke directly to our ICP. The final work has left us both proud and excited to share Matcha with the world.”

— Noah, CEO @ Matcha
“Off-Frame helped us get from concept to a demo-able MVP without over-engineering anything. The prototypes were sleek, grounded in how users would actually work, and gave us confidence in what to build next.”

—Marlin, Founder @ Fellow

Freelancers are flexible but often lack depth or context. Agencies bring structure but create friction—handoffs, translation layers, approval cycles.
We're embedded like an internal hire. Senior-level thinking, full context from day one, making decisions with conviction alongside your team. No handoffs, no agency overhead, no translation layers slowing momentum.
You get strategic capacity that's part of your rhythm, not external to it.
They’re embedded day-to-day, but managed by Mainframe. That means you get full integration without the overhead or risk of hiring.
Most engagements can kick off within 2–5 days after alignment and signing.
That’s expected. Our goal is to help teams maintain momentum and leave them stronger than we found them — not create long-term dependency.
Yes — that’s how we work.
We embed directly into your tools and workflows, collaborate closely with product and engineering, and communicate primarily async to keep things moving. Our role is to complement your team and reduce friction, not operate in a silo.
