Product design

Easy to use, and tested with real people.

We talk to the people who will use your product, sketch it, and put a clickable prototype in their hands before anything is built. Then we turn it into a design system your developers can build from, accessible from the start.

// what we do

Designs people can use.

01

User research

Interviews and tests with the people who will use it, so you build what they need, not what you guessed.

02

Prototypes

Clickable prototypes to test the hard parts before they cost anything to build.

03

Interface design

Every screen at phone, tablet and desktop widths, with the states people actually meet: empty, loading and error.

04

Design systems

Colours, type, spacing and components, written down once and used everywhere, in design and in code.

05

Accessibility audits

Your product checked, with a list of what to fix, in order. We test against WCAG 2.2 AA, which goes beyond the WCAG 2.0 AA level that Ontario's AODA requires.

06

Redesigns

An existing product made clearer, one flow at a time, without retraining everyone at once.

// how we work

Tested before it is built.

  • We test with people who match your users, not with our own team.
  • Accessibility is designed in: contrast, keyboard use, screen readers and text size are checked on every screen.
  • Designers and engineers work as one team, so a design is never handed over that cannot be built.
  • Every design decision is written down with its reason, so the next one is faster.

// a typical first project

Research and a prototype.

A few interviews, the key flows sketched, and a clickable prototype tested with your users, ready to build from. Book a call to start.

// questions

Questions about design work.

Do you only design, or build too?

Both. You can stop after the design and build it with your own team, or we can build it with the same people who designed it.

Can you work with our brand?

Yes. We work inside your brand, or help you extend it into a design system if it does not cover a product yet.

Will an accessibility audit make us compliant?

An audit tells you what to fix and in what order. Fixing it is the work that brings you closer to WCAG and the AODA, and we can do that too. We do not certify compliance or give legal advice, and no one can certify WCAG.

Who owns the designs?

You do, once the work is paid for: the files, the design system and the research notes.

Not sure which you need?

Tell us the problem, not the solution. We will tell you what we would build, and what we would not.
