Product Design: UX/UI & Brand

User experience, interface design and brand identity for digital products. We learn how people really use your product, design interfaces they understand at a glance, and give your developers a design system and brand they can apply consistently.

Talk to a designer

Key facts

Is this for you?

  • You're launching a new product and want to get it right before it's built.
  • Users struggle with key tasks, and your support tickets keep saying so.
  • Your product grew screen by screen and no longer feels like one product.
  • Your brand no longer reflects what the company does today.

The problem

Users don't read manuals. When a product is confusing, they leave, call support or find a workaround.

  • Features get built, but customers don't find them or don't use them.
  • Every screen looks slightly different, so the product feels unfinished.
  • The brand, the website and the product tell three different stories.
Our design process: understand the problem before designing the solution, and test both with real users.

Our approach

1. Research

We talk to your users, review your analytics and test the current product, so design decisions start from evidence rather than opinion.

2. Design and test

We move from user flows and wireframes to clickable prototypes, and test them with real users before any code is written.

3. Systemise

We turn the result into a design system and brand guidelines your developers and marketers can apply consistently, and support the build so what ships matches what was designed.

What we do

  • UX research: user interviews, analytics reviews and usability testing.
  • Information architecture and user flows that match how your users think.
  • UI design for web and mobile, from wireframes to high-fidelity prototypes.
  • Design systems: components, design tokens and guidelines shared by designers and developers.
  • Brand identity: logo, colour, typography and tone of voice, applied across product and marketing.
  • Accessibility built into the design from the start, reviewed against WCAG.

By the numbers

How design leaders outperformed their industry peers over five years
  • Revenue growth: +32 pts
  • Total returns to shareholders: +56 pts

McKinsey tracked 300 listed companies across three industries. The study shows that the strongest design performers grew faster, not that design alone caused it, but the pattern held in every industry it looked at.

Engagement model

Design work usually starts with a short research phase, followed by design sprints with a clear output at the end of each. Brand identity can be a project of its own. When the design is ready, our engineers can build it, or we hand it to your team with full support. We agree the scope, team and pricing model with you before work starts.

Your team

A senior product designer leads the work, joined by UX researchers and UI or brand designers as needed, and works closely with the engineers who will build it.

Working hours

Our team works from Ho Chi Minh City (UTC+7). That's within an hour of Singapore and Malaysia, and gives four to five hours of shared working time with the Australian east coast every day. For clients in the US we agree an overlap window at the start and handle the rest asynchronously, with written updates.

Frequently asked questions

Do you only design, or build too?

Both. Our web and app engineers can build what we design, or we hand the designs and design system to your developers and support them through the build.

Can you improve our product without a full redesign?

Yes. We often start with the screens that cause the most trouble, and introduce the design system step by step as the product changes.

Do you test designs with real users?

Yes. We recruit participants with you, remotely or in person, and test prototypes before they're built, when changes are cheap.

Which tools do you use?

Figma for design and prototyping, with components and tokens your developers can inspect and use directly.
