/ 05 — Discipline

Design that survives contact with production.

Interfaces engineered to the same tolerances as the systems behind them. Design systems your engineers will adopt, research that changes roadmaps, and prototypes that close decisions rather than open arguments.

Capabilities

What we build.

/ 01

Design systems

Tokens, primitives, patterns. Figma library, code components, accessibility baked in, documented for adoption.

/ 02

Information architecture

Mental models, navigation, content structure. Reduce cognitive load before adding more pixels.

/ 03

UX research

Interviews, usability testing, diary studies, log analysis. Findings tied to product decisions, not slide-ware.

/ 04

Prototyping

Interactive prototypes that test the riskiest assumption first. Built fast, discarded faster, learned from always.

/ 05

Brand & identity

Visual systems with operational rules. Logo, type, colour, motion — every element justified, every variant documented.

/ 06

Accessibility

WCAG 2.2 AA as the floor, not the ceiling. Audits, remediation, semantic HTML, screen-reader testing.

Engagement spec

How an engagement is shaped.

Duration 4–16 weeks. Discovery sprint two weeks; design and build delivered in two-week increments alongside engineering.
Deliverables Design tokens, Figma library, coded components, research reports, prototypes, accessibility audit.
Standards WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility, human-centred design practice, platform design guidelines (Apple HIG, Material).
Instrumentation Task completion rate, time-on-task, error rate, NPS / CSAT where appropriate, component adoption metrics.
Handover Design system documented and versioned. Internal designers and engineers trained on contribution model.
