Sarah LeQuire
Fractional UX Designer for early stage teams

I’m a product designer specializing in UX with fifteen years in fashion. In fashion, a design only counts when a real person chooses a piece, and businesses can sell it. That's the instinct I bring to product work.

I partner with startups and small teams that want design judgment without carrying a full-time hire. I bring end-to-end design support, along with business insights, about what gets a product chosen, without carrying a full-time hire.

How I got news readers to try the half of the app they were ignoring

The news app had a loyal and dedicated base. But the social aspect was entirely ignored.
