01
Design systems
Figma libraries paired with React component libraries. One source of truth for tokens, components, and patterns — kept in sync because the same team owns both.
08UI/UX Design
UI/UX Design & Design Systems
Design that ships. Figma libraries that match the production code. Accessibility built in, not bolted on. Interaction design that survives engineering.
Who this is for
Founders, product managers, and engineering leaders who have been burned by beautiful mockups that turned ugly in production — or by design systems that lasted three months before drift took over.
What we solve
Design fails when it is treated as a deliverable instead of a discipline. We treat design as engineering: design tokens versioned in code, components shared between Figma and React, accessibility audited continuously, and the design team accountable for what actually shipped.
Design that does not ship is not design. We work in Figma, we code in React, and we close the gap between them — accessible, consistent, and built to scale. The same designers reviewing your flows are talking to the engineers writing the components, which is why mockups do not fall apart in development on our projects.
What we build
The systems we've shipped most often.
02
Product UI/UX
End-to-end flows for SaaS dashboards, customer portals, marketplaces, and mobile apps. Interaction design that respects the underlying complexity.
03
Accessibility audits
WCAG 2.2 AA audits with concrete remediation plans. We will tell you what to fix first, what is cheap, and what is expensive — not just hand over a 200-page report.
04
Brand systems
Logo, typography, color, voice, and the supporting assets — built to live in product, not just in a brand book.
05
Marketing site design
Landing pages, product pages, and the conversion-oriented surfaces that need design and copywriting working together.
06
Design ops
Design system governance, contribution processes, design review rituals, and the operational hygiene that prevents drift between Figma and production.
Capabilities
How the team is set up.
Design tools
Figma for everything — design files, prototypes, libraries, design tokens. We use Variables, Auto Layout, and Component Properties as fluently as we use React.

Engineering bridge
Design tokens shipped as code, component APIs designed alongside the Figma counterparts, Storybook as the contract between design and engineering. Design specs are not handoff documents — they are part of the codebase.

Accessibility & quality
WCAG 2.2 AA baseline, axe-core in CI, keyboard-only walkthroughs, and screen reader audits before each major release. Accessibility is enforced by the design system.

Process
Full delivery processHow we run this work.
01
Discovery
We ask the questions no one else asks. Business model, technical constraints, team capabilities, real deadlines. We read the documentation you haven't written yet.
02
Strategy
Architecture decisions made before a single line of code. Stack selection, deployment model, third-party dependencies — documented, debated, decided.
03
Build
Iterative, with weekly demos. No black-box sprints. You see working software every week or we're not doing it right.
FAQ
Common questions
Do you only do design, or design and development?+
Both. About a third of our design engagements are design-only — usually because the client has a strong in-house engineering team. The other two-thirds are design plus development, which is where we get the most value because the design and engineering happen in lockstep.
What does a design system engagement look like?+
Typically 6–10 weeks for the foundation: tokens, primitives, the most-used components, documentation in Storybook, and the contribution model. Then ongoing — design systems are products, not projects.
How do you handle accessibility audits?+
We do automated audits with axe-core and Lighthouse, then layer manual testing — keyboard-only walkthroughs, screen reader audits with VoiceOver and TalkBack, and color contrast spot-checks. The deliverable is a prioritized remediation plan with effort estimates, not a wall of issues.
Do you write copy and content?+
We do UX writing for product surfaces (button labels, error messages, empty states, onboarding copy). We partner with content writers for marketing copy, blog content, and long-form material — not because we cannot write, but because specialists do it better.
What is your pricing model for design?+
Fixed-price for clearly scoped deliverables (a brand system, an audit, a design system foundation). Time-and-materials for ongoing product design where the work evolves week to week. We discuss honestly which model fits during Discovery.
