FAQs

How long does a typical AI design project take?
Most projects run 8–12 weeks. Focused sprints (2–4 weeks) are available for specific issues like onboarding or explainability.
Do you only work with AI startups?
We work with both emerging AI companies and established enterprises.
Can you design explainable AI interfaces?
Yes, we specialize in making AI reasoning understandable and trustworthy.
How do you measure success in AI UX?
We look at trust ratings, adoption rates, retention, and comprehension scores.
Do you offer ongoing support after launch?
Yes, through retainers for continuous improvement, testing, and optimization.
What if we need to redesign without confusing existing users?
We focus on evolutionary redesigns, using progressive rollouts and trust-testing to ensure smooth adoption.
Can I check out past projects?
Yes but usually after we know more about what you’re building. Some of our work is under NDA, but we’ll always share examples that show how we think and deliver.
Do you do branding or just product design?
We do both especially when product and brand need to evolve together. Our branding work is rooted in utility: helping teams stand out, stay consistent, and scale faster across product, pitch, and platform.
If we have designers in-house - where do you fit in?
We bring outside perspective, product strategy, and speed. We work best with in-house teams that want a thought partner, not just more hands. Whether it’s a tricky UX challenge or a fast-moving roadmap, we work with the team you already have.
