Design
Design with an engineering team behind it.
Brand identity, storefronts, configurator UX, SaaS and dashboard design — done by a studio that also writes the code. The design ships because the same people build it. No agency handover gap, no AI-mockup theatre.
Founding client · 3spots left
30% off our first 3 projects — in exchange for the right to publish the work.
We're building our public case-study shelf. Book before 21 June 2026 and you get a senior build at a founding rate; we get a named case study (with your sign-off) to show the next client. Honest trade, real deadline — we only need three.
Public studies
Five concept projects, public on the blog
Most senior client work sits under NDA — these studies stand in for it. Each one is a worked-through design problem with reasoning, not a Dribbble shot. Read them like portfolio with the receipts included.

Two design references shipped as open code — a D2C storefront concept and an identity/age-verification platform. Fork, run, read the tokens.

Six pieces, every time. The mix changes; the parts don't.
Brand & identity
Logo, type system, palette, and a usable design system. Two-week sprint, one revision round, source files included. The same identity work that produced the etherlabz.com brand and the open-source theme references.
Storefront & landing-page design
Conversion-focused page design for ecom launches, configurator entry points, and SaaS landings. Above-the-fold copy and layout treated as one decision, not two.
Configurator UX
The interaction layer of made-to-order — option trees, real-time price reveal, dealer flows, B2B portals. Designed before the engineering quote, so scope is real.
SaaS & dashboard design
Product UI for internal tools, AI apps, fintech dashboards, and analytics surfaces. Dense data without overwhelm. Patterns reused across the case studies below.
Design systems & tokens
Color, type, spacing, motion, and component tokens shipped as Figma libraries + JSON so engineering pulls them directly. No "re-interpret the Figma" handover loss.
Hand-off engineering can build
Figma + tokens + a working frontend snippet for the pieces that benefit from one. Because we ship the engineering too, the design is never drawn in a vacuum.
Where we stand on AI mockups
AI is a tool. The work is still the work.
Plain version: we use AI inside design discovery, we don't ship AI screenshots as deliverables, and we ship the engineering ourselves so the design survives reality.
We use AI inside the work
Concept exploration, reference scouring, copy variants, ideation. Faster discovery, more options on the table. Standard part of how we work.
We do not ship AI mockups as design
An AI screenshot is not a design system. It's a moodboard with a syntax error. The work that matters is decisions about hierarchy, density, motion, contrast, and engineering-ability — not the pixels themselves.
We ship the engineering too
That's the moat. A design we hand to ourselves to build is a design that survives reality — tokens, responsive breakpoints, real data, edge cases. Most agencies hand off and pray.
Honesty check
When we're probably the right call
Four signals that point at us. None of them apply? Tell us anyway — we'll be honest about whether the fit is there.
You're launching or rebranding
A new product, a new market, or a brand that's outgrown what was good enough at year one. You want identity that ships, not slides about identity.
You need ecom or SaaS UI that converts
Storefront launches, configurator entry points, SaaS dashboards, or B2B portals. The design has to do the commercial job, not just look nice in Dribbble.
You're shipping a configurator
Option trees, real-time price reveals, dealer flows. Designed before the engineering quote — so the scope, the build, and the price are all of a piece.
You want design that ships, not Figma trophies
You want one studio that does the design and the engineering, so nothing gets re-interpreted in handover. The whole point of doing both halves under one roof.
Pricing
Visible numbers. No "let's chat."
Two design tiers, available standalone or stacked onto an engineering engagement (15% off the design tier when bundled).
Brand sprint
fixed · 2 weeks
Logo, type system, palette, a usable design system. One revision round, source files included.
Storefront & UX design
per surface
Page design for ecom launches, configurator entry points, SaaS landings, B2B portals. Hands off as Figma + design tokens.

Got a brand, a storefront, or a configurator that needs design?
30-minute call. We'll tell you whether a brand sprint, a single surface, or a stacked engineering + design engagement fits — or that we aren't the right call.
