Sidecar
Design

Design leadership for ambitious products and the teams building them.

Brett Wagner is the founder of Sidecar Design, where he works closely with product teams, founders, and leadership to define direction, establish systems, and ship work that matters. With 15+ years leading design at companies ranging from startups to enterprise, he brings the kind of judgment that only comes from having been in the room.

Sidecar has partnered with organizations across enterprise software, AI products, consumer mobile, design systems, and 0→1 product development — delivering senior design leadership without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Sidecar is selectively available for new engagements. To start a conversation, reach out at brett@heysidecar.com or connect on LinkedIn.

Design Leadership

Fractional or interim design leadership for teams that need senior direction — defining vision, building process, and mentoring designers without a full-time commitment.

Embedded Partnership

Working inside your team as a deeply integrated collaborator — alongside PMs, engineers, and executives to align strategy with execution and accelerate progress.

Focused Contract Work

High-impact design for a specific initiative, product phase, or moment of change. Agency-level thinking, fractional flexibility — from concept through to execution.
