Book a
Design Ops
Audit.
Thirty minutes with a DRFF solutions architect. You bring the messy Figma library, the Slack channel, the design-to-dev handoff that lost a sprint. We map it, in the call, on screen — and email you a written audit the same day. No pitch deck. No follow-up ambush.
Chapter list — the 30 minutes, beat by beat
What happens in the 30 minutes.
Three beats, time-boxed, no surprises. We have done this with 1,847 product teams; the shape does not change because the shape is the point.
-
01
You show us the mess. (0–10 min)
Screen-share your Figma library, your token repo, or the Slack channel where component requests go to die. We listen, take notes, and ask the four questions that surface 80% of the friction we see across audits.
-
02
We map it, live. (10–22 min)
On a shared whiteboard we draw the three layers of your current design-ops stack — where tokens live, where review actually happens, where the handoff slips — and flag the two highest-leverage fixes. You keep the whiteboard.
-
03
You leave with a written audit. (22–30 min + email)
We recap the eight minutes of recommendations, name the next single experiment, and email you a one-page audit PDF the same day. The call ends. There is no follow-up sequence unless you ask for one.
Why this is worth your 30 minutes — three numbers, no asterisks

Pick a time
A 30-minute call, on your calendar this week.
For design leaders and design-ops managers scaling a 5 to 50+ designer org at a Series B–D SaaS company. If that is you, the call is built for you. If it is not, we will tell you in the first three minutes and point you somewhere useful.
- A solutions architect with shipping design-ops experience — not an SDR.
- Camera optional, but we keep ours on. You will too if you want.
- Reschedule any time up to one hour before — no guilt email, no rebook link.
The real scheduler replaces this mock on deploy. Slots shown are illustrative.
Two design leaders, two post-audit reactions
What design leaders said after the call.
Not a survey. Not a G2 pull-quote. Verbatim, sent within a week of the audit, used with permission.
“We came in expecting a 30-minute demo and left with a one-page map of the four places our design system was quietly rotting. No pitch. The audit doc is still pinned in our design channel. We did not buy DRFF for another quarter — and they did not chase us.”
“I've sat through a hundred vendor discovery calls. This one was the first where the person on the other side actually knew what a token sync race condition looks like at 3 a.m. The recommendation on our review queue alone paid for the next year.”
Before you book — four things design leaders ask
Before you book.
If any of this does not fit, the call will tell you in the first three minutes, and we will refund the time.
01Who actually shows up on the call?
A DRFF solutions architect — a working designer or ex-designer who has shipped a design-ops stack at a Series B–D company. Thirty-one of our forty-two employees are designers or ex-designers. You will not get an SDR, an AE, or a slide deck.
02Is this a disguised sales pitch?
No. The audit is a product — a 30-minute working session plus a written deliverable — that exists whether or not you ever buy DRFF. If we are not the right fit, we will say so and recommend someone who is. We do this often.
03What do I actually get afterward?
A one-page audit PDF emailed the same day: current-state diagram, two highest-leverage fixes, and one next experiment to run with your team. The whiteboard from the call is yours to keep regardless.
04We are six designers, not fifty. Is this still useful?
Yes — most of our audits are with teams between five and fifteen designers, before the scaling pain becomes obvious. Catching the friction early is cheaper than untangling it at thirty. Our free tier covers up to three designers indefinitely if you want to try the product first.
