Tools & technologies

  • Figma
  • Interactive prototypes
  • Design tokens
  • Component libraries
  • Accessibility testing
  • Usability research tools

Start with a decision, not a screen count.

What is the task?

Identify the user, their starting point and what completion means.

What is getting in the way?

Use observed behaviour, support feedback and the constraints of the product.

What needs testing?

Turn assumptions into questions a prototype can help answer.

Try a different visit. Keep your place.

An illustrative prototype: choose a new slot, review it and return without losing the selection.

Behaviour belongs in the specification.

Document focus, validation, empty states and responsive changes so implementation does not depend on a single ideal screen.

Decisions your team can build from.

  • Research findings & open questions

  • Journey & information architecture

  • Interactive prototype

  • Component & state library

  • Accessibility annotations

  • Engineering handoff notes

Agree what evidence the work needs.

Research access

Agree recruitment, consent and access to existing feedback before promising a research programme.

Design coverage

Name the journeys, component states and device sizes included in the handoff.

Build ownership

Agree who implements the design and how questions or deviations will be reviewed.

Move an approved product flow into engineering

A few practical questions.

Do you need an existing product?

No. For a new product, we begin with the intended users, the task and the constraints. Existing products can add observed behaviour, support requests and usability evidence.

Is user research always included?

The method and recruitment are agreed for the engagement. Stakeholder opinions and an illustrative prototype are not substitutes for research with representative users.

Does design delivery include production code?

Not by default. Design outputs cover the agreed prototype, component specifications and handoff. Engineering implementation can be scoped separately.

Can you use our existing design system?

Yes. We review the existing components and usage rules, reuse suitable patterns and document additions or changes rather than replacing the system automatically.

Show us where people get stuck.

Bring an existing flow, user feedback or a task your product needs to support.
