UI/UX design
judged on the job done.
Product-focused design: flows, states and interfaces judged on whether the job gets done.
- — Your product works but onboarding loses people
- — Every new feature looks like a different product
- — Support answers the same "where do I…" question weekly
The work should
change the numbers.
Design that only produces beautiful screens is a liability, because the screens are the smallest part. Real products are mostly states: loading, empty, partial, error, permission-denied, offline, too-much-data. Whoever designs those decides how the product actually feels.
We work in flows before screens, prototypes before pixels, and components before pages. Every project produces a design system rather than a folder of artwork, so the tenth screen is quick and consistent instead of a fresh negotiation.
Because the same team builds the thing, nothing is designed that cannot be built well — and nothing is quietly simplified during engineering without a conversation.
What the engagement
actually contains.
Research proportionate to risk
Enough interviews, analytics and support-ticket reading to stop guessing, without a six-week detour.
Job and flow mapping
The tasks people come to do, mapped end to end including the paths nobody demos.
Interactive prototypes
Clickable flows tested with real users before engineering commits to an approach.
Design system
Tokens, components and documented states, delivered in Figma and in code.
Accessibility by default
Contrast, focus order, target sizes and keyboard paths designed in, not audited in later.
Handover that holds
Specs, states and edge cases documented so engineering does not have to interpret intent.
- Research findings and prioritised opportunities
- Flow maps and interactive prototype
- High-fidelity designs with all states specified
- Design system in Figma and in code
- Accessibility annotations
- Usability test recordings and findings
- Your product works but onboarding loses people
- Every new feature looks like a different product
- Support answers the same "where do I…" question weekly
- Design and engineering disagree about what was agreed
What usually went wrong
before we were called.
- 01Delivering flat screens with no specified states for engineering to build
- 02Research that runs for six weeks and changes nothing
- 03Accessibility left to an audit after the design system is locked
- 04A new visual language per feature because there is no component library
- Task completion and time on task
- Onboarding drop-off by step
- Support tickets about finding things
- Design-to-build rework rate
4–8 weeks for a product area, including prototype testing
What week one
actually looks like.
Support tickets, session recordings and analytics read together, then the jobs people come to do mapped end to end — including the paths nobody demos.
- Access to analytics and support tickets
- Five or six users for interviews
- Existing design files and brand assets
- A decision-maker for direction
- Brand identity creation
- Illustration or motion design at scale
- Copywriting beyond interface text
- Front-end build, unless scoped separately
Scope boundaries stated up front rather than discovered in a change request.
Four stages, visible throughout.
Model
The domain, data and permissions written down before any interface exists, because the schema outlives every screen above it.
Prototype
Flows and states tested as a clickable prototype, so the expensive disagreements happen in Figma rather than in code.
Ship in slices
One workflow at a time, in production, with tests and observability included in the definition of done.
Operate
Release tooling, monitoring and a documented handover so your team can run and extend what we built.
Where this has paid off.
Turning complexity into a category leader.
A new website and patient portal made a specialist healthcare network easier to choose, understand and trust.
The website that finally sells the product.
We rebuilt an industrial software marketing site around the way technical buyers actually evaluate.
UI/UX design, answered.
Yes — plenty of clients take our designs to an internal or offshore team. We deliver a documented system with states and specifications rather than flat images, precisely so it can be built well by someone else.
Proportionate to what a wrong answer would cost. A pricing page rework needs a fortnight of evidence; a new billing model deserves more. We propose the smallest research that removes the biggest uncertainty and say what we are deliberately not investigating.
We extend existing brands into product design systems. Full identity creation — naming, logo, brand strategy — is outside what we do, and we would rather point you to a specialist than sell you our second-best skill.
App development
iOS, Android and cross-platform apps shipped by a senior team that stays through the store review.
Web development
Custom, WordPress and Shopify builds for teams who need a site that sells, not just one that exists.
Accessibility (ADA/WCAG)
Audits and remediation that make the product usable for everyone and defensible on paper.
Custom admin dashboards
Internal tools your team actually wants to open, built around the decisions they make daily.
Make ui/ux design useful.
Bring us the hard thing. We will bring a point of view, a senior team and a clear next step.
