Product Design From a Team That Ships the Code

The classic failure mode is a gorgeous Figma file that nobody can build. The agency that designed it never wrote a line of production code, so the layouts assume animations that wreck performance, components that do not exist, and states that were never specified. The engineering team gets the file, discovers the gaps, and starts guessing. The product that ships looks nothing like the mockup, the design system rots, and the next feature gets designed from scratch all over again.

Product design is what closes that gap. We design and we build, so the wireframes are grounded in what is actually feasible, the prototypes account for loading and error and empty states, and the design system ships as both a Figma library and the matching React components. The screen you sign off on is the screen we deploy.

Design starts with the problem, not the interface. Discovery establishes who the users are, what they are trying to accomplish, and where today's experience fails them. From there we move from flows to wireframes to high-fidelity screens, validating at each step with the people who will use the product rather than polishing in a vacuum. Accessibility is a constraint we design within from the first frame, never a remediation pass bolted on later.

Discovery and research → information architecture and wireframes → high-fidelity UI and interactive prototype → design system and engineering handoff (2 to 8 weeks typical) → design QA through the build. Because the same team writes the code, the handoff is a conversation, not a wall.

Product design rarely lives alone. On a new product it sets the foundation for an MVP build so the first release is coherent rather than stitched together. On an existing product a focused redesign untangles an interface that grew feature by feature without a system holding it together. Either way, the design system we leave behind keeps future work consistent instead of restarting from a blank canvas each sprint.

Because design and engineering are the same team, accessibility and performance are designed in from the start — not discovered during a late QA pass when fixing them is expensive.

Product design served from Macon, GA, with clients across Atlanta, New York, San Francisco, and the rest of the US.

Fixed-fee per scope. Typical ranges:

• Focused redesign of an existing flow with usability testing: $6k – $15k
• Full product UX/UI for a new app or major feature set: $18k – $45k
• Design system — tokens, components, documentation, and coded React parity: $15k – $35k
• Accessibility audit and remediation design to WCAG 2.2 AA: $8k – $20k
• Discovery and research sprint with wireframes: $3,500 flat

Design QA through the development phase included when we build it. Optional retainer for ongoing design support as the product grows.
