Is your design work decoupled from your engineering?

No. Our design ships into production code that we (or your engineering team) write. We do not produce Figma files that look great in isolation but do not survive the build. The designer and the engineer work on the same engagement, share the same backlog, and ship together. That coupling is the point.

Do you do brand and identity work or only product design?

Primarily product design - the UX, UI, design systems, and prototypes that make a SaaS or app usable. We have done basic brand work (logo refinement, brand-guide light-touch) as part of larger engagements but we are not a branding agency. For pure brand identity work we will refer to a specialist.

What's the deliverable from a design engagement?

Depending on scope: a Figma file with the full product designed and prototyped, a design system documented and exported as code-ready tokens, a clickable prototype usable for customer-discovery interviews, and (when we are engineering as well) the production implementation of the design.

Do you do design only, or design plus engineering?

Both. About 60 percent of our engagements pair design with engineering (we ship the live product). About 30 percent are design-only with an external engineering team. About 10 percent are design-system work for established teams. Design plus engineering tends to produce better outcomes because the designer is making decisions that the engineer who will implement them is in the room for.

What does a design engagement cost?

Single-product UX/UI design: $20,000 to $80,000 over 4-10 weeks. Design system creation: $30,000 to $90,000 over 6-12 weeks. Design + prototype for customer discovery (no production build): $15,000 to $40,000 over 3-6 weeks. Per-hour design contributor (for established teams): $150 to $225 depending on seniority and engagement length.

Do you do accessibility (WCAG 2.2) work?

Yes as a default, not as an upsell. WCAG 2.2 AA is the baseline on every product we design. AAA where the funder, regulator, or buyer requires it. We do not ship designs that fail color-contrast checks, keyboard navigation, or screen-reader sensible structure.

How do you approach product UX research?

For most engagements: customer-discovery interviews (5-8 conversations), usability testing on early prototypes (3-5 sessions), and analytics-driven iteration once the product is live. We do not run formal six-month research programs; we do continuous lightweight research that informs the next design sprint.

Design that ships · since 2020

Design studio for SaaS and product teams. Design that ships into production, not Dribbble.

We are a Tampa-based design studio focused on product UX, UI, design systems, and accessibility for SaaS founders and product teams. Our design work either ships in our own engineering or it ships in yours - either way it ships.

How we think about design

Most design studios produce beautiful Figma files that struggle in implementation. We design with the engineer in the room (literally - we ship engineering too) so what gets approved is what gets built. The visual quality is the same; what changes is that the design actually lives in production at fidelity.

What we do

UX research + customer discovery

5-8 customer-discovery interviews, jobs-to-be-done framing, usability testing on prototypes. Practical, action-driving research, not academic deliverables.

UI design

Customer surfaces, operator dashboards, mobile apps. Design for shipped code, not for Dribbble.

Design systems

Component libraries, design tokens, accessibility patterns. Documented and exported as code-ready tokens your engineering team can use.

Prototyping

Clickable Figma prototypes for customer-discovery interviews and usability testing. Sometimes lightweight React prototypes when the interaction model needs to feel real.

Accessibility (WCAG 2.2)

AA baseline on every product we design, AAA where required. Color contrast, keyboard navigation, screen-reader structure, focus management.
