Design that ships
the way it was drawn.
Product design systems, flows and high-fidelity screens designed to work in the real world and hand off cleanly to the engineers building them.
- Tool
- Figma
- Includes
- design system + code
- Testing
- 2 usability rounds
- Handoff
- annotated + component lib
Design that respects users and survives engineering.
Most product design breaks down at the handoff. Screens that looked considered in Figma become a source of engineering decisions at 11pm, and the result is a product that feels like it was assembled from parts, not designed as a whole.
We close that gap. Our designers work directly with engineers, build component libraries in code alongside the design system and annotate files with the specifics a developer actually needs. The design does not just look right it ships right.
Research through engineering-ready handoff.
Discovery & research
User interviews, task analysis and a review of what your competitors got right (and wrong) before a pixel is placed.
Design system
Tokens, components and documentation that engineering can build from without guessing at spacing, colour or type.
High-fidelity screens
Every state, every viewport, every error condition designed before it becomes an engineering decision at 11pm.
Interaction design
Transitions, loading states, microinteractions and the moments between screens that make an interface feel considered.
Usability research
Two rounds of moderated testing with real users. We watch what breaks and fix it before it ships.
Information architecture
Navigation, taxonomy and the structure that lets users find what they need without thinking about how the product is organised.
Engineering handoff
Annotated Figma files, a component library in code and a standing channel to answer design questions during the build.
Accessibility
WCAG 2.1 AA as a baseline, colour contrast, keyboard navigation and ARIA annotations in the design file.
Research, architecture, system, screens, testing, handoff.
- Week 001
Research
User interviews, competitor analysis and a review of your existing product or brief. We form opinions before we open Figma.
- Week 102
Information architecture
Navigation structure, flows and a low-fidelity prototype enough to test with users before committing to visual design.
- Week 203
Design system
Tokens, components and the visual language. Everything built on the system, nothing designed one-off.
- Week 3–504
Screen design
High-fidelity screens for every flow. Two rounds of internal review before anything goes to you.
- Week 605
Usability testing
Two moderated sessions with your users. We watch, take notes and revise. No assumptions about what works.
- Handoff06
Engineering ready
Annotated Figma, a code component library and a standing channel to answer questions during the build.
A recent build design system and product redesign for a payroll SaaS.
“Cleanest handoff we've ever worked from. The annotations were specific enough that we had almost no design questions during the build.”
Figma. Plus a code component library your engineers can ship from.
Figma for everything. We build the component library in code alongside the design system so engineering has something to pull from, not just a reference to interpret.
Project or embedded. Usability testing included.
Design project
For a defined product or redesign.
- Fixed price after a discovery week.
- Design system plus all screens.
- Two rounds of usability testing included.
Embedded designer
For teams building continuously.
- A senior product designer working alongside your engineering team.
- Monthly fee, fixed for the quarter.
- Design reviews and system maintenance included.
What product teams ask us before starting.
Can you design something our engineers can actually build?
We have an existing product can you redesign it without a full rebuild?
How do you handle design disagreements with stakeholders?
What if we want to take the design system and apply it ourselves later?
Do you work with existing brand guidelines?
Tell us what you need designed.
A 30-minute call. We ask about your users, your engineers and what specifically is broken today.
