The Indie Consultant is a true partner to founders and product leaders, not just an individual contributor building complex, AI-forward platforms. Heatherlee is strategic. She thinks like an entrepreneur..

Working at the intersection of:

  • 0→1 product strategy
  • Agent-assisted workflow design
  • Enterprise modernization
  • Token-driven design systems
  • Revenue-aligned UX

Unlike traditional UX consultants, I don’t focus on screens first or price packages based on hour estimations or .

I don’t assume, I architect. I’m insatiably curious about:

  • How humans + AI collaborate
  • How systems scale across teams and evolve over time
  • How internal operations become growth engines that can impact revenue
  • How design becomes a business lever nobody ever denies again

With 12+ years leading design at highly-matrixed corporations and small startups, and being exposed to complicated industries like healthcare and insurance, interacting with diverse colleagues from tech orgs around the world, she brings strong, strategic growth to any platform/team.

UX Research Bootcamp (2 days)

Exectutive Prototype in 3 weeks

in 12 weeks

I offer 3 main services regularly, which you can find detailed out below. I wear many hats though, and also collaborate with a network of other designers who specialize in things I don’t, such as Branding, Accessibility, and Animation. I always say, “When you hire me, you hire my network of close collaborators.” If you don’t think your project fits into one of my main boxes below, I am still open to hear about your other needs, and can help connect dots! Email me at: heatherlee.ux @ gmail.com to inquire on pricing and scheduling.
