Product design that makes
complex SaaS easy to use

We design B2B SaaS products where everyday tasks take fewer steps, each role sees what it should and screens behave the same way across the product. Every design is tested with users and handed over with specs your engineers can build from.

What's included

What we
build for you

6 capabilities, delivered by one squad. Use what you need now and add more as you grow.

  • 01

    Workflow and IA design

    User journeys, navigation, permissions and information architecture for complex SaaS products.

    • Role and permission mapping
    • Multi-step task flows
  • 02

    Interaction design

    States, edge cases, small interactions and error recovery that make everyday tasks easier.

    • Empty, loading and error states
    • Bulk actions and tables
  • 03

    UX writing

    Labels, microcopy, onboarding and product language that help people understand what to do next.

    • Onboarding copy
    • Form and validation copy
  • 04

    Design systems

    Design tokens, components and usage rules that keep the UI consistent as more teams and features are added.

    • Component library
    • Design QA rules
  • 05

    Prototypes and specs

    Clickable prototypes plus engineer-ready specs, so building the screens goes quickly.

    • Figma prototypes
    • Handoff annotations
  • 06

    Validation loops

    Usability tests, analytics and user feedback, followed by changes, so problems are fixed before they cost you customers.

    • Usability sessions
    • Experiment design

Our approach

What usually goes wrong,
and what we do instead

  1. The usual way

    Users bounce between pages, modals and dead ends to finish a single task.

    How we do it

    We design the information architecture, navigation and task flows around how your users actually think about their work.

  2. The usual way

    Roles, access and settings feel unpredictable.

    How we do it

    Permissions are mapped up front, and a shared design system keeps access, settings and admin screens consistent.

  3. The usual way

    UI ships without usability tests, analytics or a way to gather feedback.

    How we do it

    Usability tests, analytics, UX writing and regular rounds of changes are part of every project.

Architecture

How it's
put together

Each layer has a clear job, so the system is easier to secure, test and extend.

  1. Layer 01

    Research inputs

    Stakeholder input, user interviews, jobs-to-be-done analysis and competitor reviews, so design starts from evidence.

    • Problem framing
    • User interviews
    • JTBD
    • Competitive heuristics
  2. Layer 02

    Flow architecture

    Information architecture, navigation, permissions and task models for real SaaS workflows.

    • IA and navigation
    • Role and permission mapping
    • Edge-case states
  3. Layer 03

    Design system

    Tokens, components, patterns and usage rules, so teams ship faster without breaking the experience.

    • Tokens
    • Components
    • Variants and states
    • Documentation
  4. Layer 04

    Validation and handoff

    Usability tests, analytics hooks and spec-ready handoff, so improvements continue after launch.

    • Usability sessions
    • Experiment notes
    • Spec and QA checklist

How we deliver

From first review
to live in production

4 phases, each ending with an output you can review.

  1. Step 1: Discovery and alignment

    We define your users, their workflows, where you risk losing customers and how success will be measured.

    Output: Product design blueprint

  2. Step 2: IA and flow architecture

    We map journeys, navigation, roles, states and edge cases across your most complex tasks.

    Output: Workflow and IA map

  3. Step 3: UI system and prototypes

    We create a consistent UI system, components and clickable prototypes that behave like the real product.

    Output: Design system and prototype

  4. Step 4: Validate, spec and ship

    We run usability tests, finalise the UX writing and give engineering a spec-ready design.

    Output: Spec-ready product UX

Trust and control

Safe by design,
not by policy alone

  • Design system governance

    Patterns, tokens and components that stay consistent across every module.

  • Role and permission clarity

    Access control, settings and admin workflows behave the same way across the product.

  • Validation and UX QA schedule

    Usability tests, UX writing checks and complete specs before anything ships.

You keep full ownership of the code, configuration and documentation we create, with no vendor lock-in.

It covers research with your users, workflow and navigation design, roles and permissions, interaction states, UX writing, a design system and clickable Figma prototypes. We test the designs with users, then hand over engineer-ready specs and a QA checklist. You can start with a workflow audit if you want to fix the worst friction first.
