FAQs

How long does it take to design AI-focused UX?
Most projects run 6–12 weeks depending on scope. You’ll see iterative progress every week.
Do you work with startups?
Yes. From pre-seed AI tools to enterprise platforms, we adjust our approach to your stage.
How do you handle technical complexity?
We collaborate closely with your engineering team to make sure designs are both usable and feasible.
What’s included in handoff?
High-fidelity prototypes, component libraries, specifications, and full developer support.
Do you provide ongoing support?
Yes. We offer ongoing design retainers to refine and maintain AI user experiences.
How do you measure success?
By adoption rates, usability test results, and business metrics like conversion or retention.
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.
