01
UX sprint
A focused engagement for a launch, a stuck feature, or a product that isn’t converting. Research, flows, and high-fidelity design your team can ship.
UX consulting for startups who need to move fast
I help product teams ship better experiences without the overhead of a full-time hire—through focused sprints, ongoing partnership, and workshops your PMs and engineers can use immediately.

Case studies
02 — Ways to work together
Three ways I can help
Pick the shape that matches where you are. We’ll confirm the fit on a free intro call—no pitch deck, no bloated scope.
02
Retainer
An ongoing UX partner on your roadmap—design, reviews, and decisions—without hiring full-time. Flexible hours that scale with what you’re shipping.
03
Team workshop
Hands-on training for PMs and engineers. Practical UX skills they can use the same week—so you get better products now and a stronger team later.
03 — Why teams hire me
A partner, not a template
I work with your team
Files are the byproduct. I sit in the decisions—what to research, what to cut, what to ship—and adapt to how you actually work.
Startup-ready, not agency-slow
No bloated process. A usability check, a prototype, or a full flow: enough rigor to be right, not enough ceremony to stall you.
Strategy and the pixels
I design and I implement. UX background plus full-stack development means the work survives contact with engineering.
I teach while I ship
Workshops and pairing so your PMs can wireframe and your engineers can spot UX issues—without waiting on a hire.
04 — FAQ
Good questions
01/ How do I know which option is right?
We’ll start with a free 30-minute intro call. I’ll listen to the problem, the timeline, and the budget, then recommend a sprint, retainer, or workshop—or tell you I’m not the right fit.
02/ How involved do you need us to be?
As collaborative or hands-off as you want. I need goals, constraints, and any existing research up front. After that I work independently and check in at milestones. If you’d rather decide together, we can pair more tightly.
03/ We’re early / budget-conscious. Can we still work together?
Yes. Sprints and workshops exist so you don’t have to buy a six-month retainer to get unstuck. We’ll size the work to the decision you need to make next—not a catalog of unused deliverables.
04/ Why not hire cheaper on a marketplace?
Cheap visuals without strategy usually get redesigned. Large agencies add overhead you don’t need yet. I sit in the middle: senior UX judgment, startup pace, and a scope that matches a real team—not a template.
05/ How do we start?
Book a 30-minute intro. If it’s a fit, I’ll send a simple plan and we start. Most teams are in motion within a week.
06/ How do I know we even need UX help?
If users drop off before signup or purchase, the product feels inconsistent, people complain it’s confusing, features keep landing without a cohesive experience, or marketing spend isn’t moving conversions—those are UX problems. Even a small fix can change the numbers.
05 — About
Hi, I’m Jasmine
UX consultant and founder of The Kinnect. I help startups and growing teams build better products without a full-time designer on payroll.
I’ve spent 8+ years in UX and full-stack development—so I can think through the strategy and still care about what ships. I’ve worked from early-stage products finding fit to platforms like Arrive, Punchh, and Qualtrics launching new features.
If you’re moving fast and need someone who can keep up, let’s talk.
