Skusonaut exists to help experienced designers turn years of skill into a clear, independent business.
I’m Brian Skuse, the founder of Skusonaut. For more than 15 years, I’ve worked as a UX designer and entrepreneur, building and operating real products and services across technology, healthcare, and consumer businesses. My work has always focused on how things actually function in practice—where ideas stall, where complexity creeps in, and where decision-making breaks down.
After years inside companies and running businesses of my own, I started to see the same pattern repeatedly: designers aren’t short on ability or insight, but they struggle to translate that experience into a simple, sellable business. The friction isn’t creative—it’s structural. Too many options, unclear offers, and no clean starting point.
Skusonaut was created as a short, hands-on engagement to solve that early-stage confusion. I work directly with designers in focused working sessions to clarify direction, shape a concrete service offering, and remove the operational guesswork that keeps ideas stuck.
