Rally | Adaptive design teams for growing startups

Why Rally

A design team that changes with you

Adaptive by design

Talent needs change quickly at a startup. Our teams are built to swap in and out based on the specific skillset you need, when you need it.

Partners, not pixel pushers

We like to leave places better than we found them. As design partners, we're tuned into the process and help your internal team level up.

Senior design talent

We only hire fluent, senior designers who work in US timezones.

Flexible in every sense

Pay only for what you need. Our team works on retainer: no expiration and any unused amount is refunded to you.

Embedded with your team

We embed with your product and engineering teams. Our designers will join your team's meetings and rituals, and collaborate live as needed.

Tools you already use

We use the tools you're already using, and most prefer. Slack, Jira, Trello—whatever works best for your team.

Brand & Visual Design

Dan Lee

Dan is a Brand and Visual Designer who has built brand identities and design systems for Google, Oscar, NBC’s Peacock and Titan. For over 10 years, he has worked closely with founders of new startups as well as established companies to tell compelling brand stories in both marketing and product applications. By leading teams, both big and small, he’s helped brands elevate their visual style with improved logos, illustration, color, icon sets, art direction, landing pages, and brand guidelines.

UX & Product Design

Andre de la Cruz

Andre is a generalist Product Designer and Design Leader with 15 years of expertise, and a love for interaction design—designing how things work and the moment-to-moment user experience. The last few years, Andre has primarily worked closely with product and executive leadership at early and growth stage startups to design new products from the ground up and push existing products to a more mature, polished, professional state—both as a design team of one and leader of design teams.

Product Management & Strategy

Josh Wu

Josh is a Product leader with over a decade of experience leading teams and launching products. His experiences have given him a deep understanding of how to collaboratively define and deliver valuable products and experiences across a wide range of industries. Examples include Motorola.com's website and ecommerce platform, Neiman Marcus's mobile app, and most recently a mobile app utilizing blockchain in the talent acquisition space.

“Andre shaped products for our company in the earliest stages. He quickly got up to speed on the business and industry, adapted to ever-changing requirements, and always educated me on what he was doing and why. He worked flawlessly async, and never missed a beat.”

Adam Zec, CEO, MyStandard.io

“Dan is a pleasure to work with. He's thoughtful in his approach and executes with integrity. Often you can find designers that might overcompensate with an explanation or rationality that is better summed up in a demonstration of the idea. Dan is the opposite. He listens and tries things. Showing instead of telling. It's a core attribute of a good designer, and Dan can do that while making the collaboration process effortless.”

Joshua Long, CEO, The Combination Rule

“Dan is my first call when I need the best quality design work. He cares about creating intuitive user interfaces that also look good and collaborates with our team to make sure the design becomes a reality.”

Josh Stephenson, Founder & CTO, Bright Mediums

“As a one-man design team, Andre brought the design of our relatively new marketplace software product from a raw to professional state. On personal and professional levels, Andre is a pleasure to work with.”

Nicholas Baldo, Lead Product Manager, Respondent

“Andre is an exceptional designer and leader. He built out a high-performing design team and led the charge to bring our product to a more mature state: he established our design system, reconsidered core product experiences, and and helped us build a brand new product from the ground up—a mission critical initiative, involving our whole design team and high coordination across pods.”

Eric Flyckt, SVP Product, Memora Health

“I needed Dan to help me with developing a wrap and logo for a free tampon dispenser I was working on, and Dan jumped up to help. He was easy to work with, thoughtful about his craft, always on time, and ultimately delivered a lot of great options for our team to consider. I would 100% work with him again and am really grateful to have him as a contact for future needs.”

Stephanie Loffredo, Founder, Snatch
