03 — Design
Research-led interfaces that make complex products feel obvious.

Discovery, information architecture, interaction design and a design system your engineers can actually build from.
Scoped in discovery and adjusted at each cycle boundary. Nothing here is fixed before we understand the problem.
Discovery & research
Stakeholder interviews, user sessions and competitive teardowns that produce decisions, not slide decks.
Information architecture
Flows, states and edge cases mapped before visual design, which is where most rework is avoided.
Interface & motion design
High-fidelity design in Figma with motion specified as timing and easing, not as vague adjectives.
Design systems
Tokens, components and usage rules delivered in Figma and in code, versioned alongside your product.
What you receive
- Research synthesis & opportunity map
- User flows and IA
- High-fidelity UI across breakpoints
- Interactive prototype
- Design system & token set
- Accessibility annotations to WCAG 2.2 AA

Indicative only. Final scope and cost are agreed after discovery, and we will tell you if your budget does not match the ambition.
Often, yes. When your engineering team is building, we deliver a system they can implement and stay available for design QA through the build.
It is scoped from the start — contrast, focus order, keyboard paths and screen-reader semantics are annotated in the handover rather than retrofitted after an audit.
Often combined with
Tell us what you are building. We will help turn the idea into a digital product people remember — starting with an honest conversation about whether we are the right studio for it.
