Our approach
Discovery
The Discovery phase is crucial for laying the foundation of the design system. It begins with stakeholder interviews to gather insights about business goals. Additionally, we analyze existing design patterns and branding elements, to understand what works well and what needs improvement. To further refine our approach, we review competitor design systems for inspiration and best practices, helping us identify innovative solutions.
- 01Stakeholder interviews
- 02Design Pattern Analysis
- 03Competitor Review
Strategy
In this phase, we focus on identifying and detailing the essential UI elements that will form the backbone of the design system. We begin by listing key components, such as buttons, forms, and cards, that are crucial for creating a cohesive user interface. Each identified component is then documented with comprehensive specifications, including size, behavior, and intended usage. This phase ensures that all design elements are clearly defined.
- 01UI Component Identification
- 02Design Specifications
Design Handoff
The Implementation and Handoff phase is critical for translating the design system into a functional product. During this phase, we collaborate closely with development teams to ensure the accurate implementation of the design elements and components. Additionally, we provide developers with all necessary assets, specifications, and documentation to streamline the integration process.
- 01Developer Collaboration
- 02Asset Delivery
Maintance & Iteration
The Maintenance and Iteration phase is essential for ensuring the design system remains effective and relevant over time. This involves conducting regular reviews to assess the system's performance and its alignment with evolving user needs and business objectives. Additionally, we implement a robust process for managing updates and version control, allowing us to adapt the design system as necessary.

How do you incorporate client feedback into your design process?
Incorporating client feedback is a vital part of our design process. We engage clients from the very beginning by involving them in research and brainstorming sessions to ensure their vision is captured. Throughout the project, we present prototypes and design iterations for review, encouraging open dialogue and constructive criticism. This collaboration allows us to make necessary adjustments and align our designs with the client’s expectations. By fostering a transparent and iterative feedback loop, we ensure that the final product not only meets but exceeds our clients goals.
What industries do you specialise in?
We specialize in creating customized designs for various industries, including fintech, where we prioritize secure and user-friendly interfaces for financial services. In project management, we design tools that boost productivity and facilitate team collaboration. Our work in drone technology focuses on intuitive controls and effective data visualization. In gaming, we develop engaging and immersive user experiences, while in the medical field, we emphasize accessibility and clarity for healthcare websites. Additionally, we design interactive e-learning platforms in the education sector that enhance learning outcomes.
How do you determine project pricing?
We work on an hourly rate. Project pricing for design projects is determined based on several key factors. We assess the scope of the project, including the complexity of the design, the number of screens or pages, and any additional services like user research or prototyping. The timeline and urgency also play a role, as tighter deadlines may require more resources. Additionally, we consider the level of customization needed, whether it's a completely new design or enhancements to an existing one. After evaluating these elements, we provide an estimation on how many hours we will need to finish the project.
What is the expected timeline for a typical project?
The timeline for a typical design project varies based on its complexity and scope. For smaller projects, such as designing a simple web site, single feature or a small app, the process can take 2 to 4 weeks. Larger projects, like a complete web platform design with all functionalities, typically require 5 to 10 weeks or more, depending on the number of pages, the level of customization, and the need for research. Throughout the project, we ensure to maintain clear communication and provide regular updates, so you're always aware of the progress.
What tools and technologies do you use?
In our design workflow, we use a combination of cutting-edge tools and technologies to ensure smooth collaboration and high-quality outcomes. Figma is our go-to for designing and prototyping. We also use Adobe Creative Suite for more detailed visual design and asset creation. For communication and project management, we rely on Slack, Asana and emails to keep conversations organized and quick. These tools enable us to work efficiently, whether remotely or in-house.
