Work out what to build — before you build it.
We run discovery with your team and your users, map the flows, design the interface and turn it into a prototype you can click through, test and show investors. Standalone, or as the front end of a build.
Nairobi Lens — designed and built end to end.
A high-performance, search-friendly digital news platform. We took it from discovery and information architecture, through UX and a design system, to a production build.

The EMS engineering storyFrom a rough idea to something you can test.
Sold on its own or as the front end of a build. Used by funded startups shaping a first product, and by established organizations launching a new one.
- Discovery and problem framing — workshops with your team and your users
- User research and user flows
- Information architecture
- UX and UI design
- Clickable prototypes you can test with real users
- Design systems your engineers can build from
- Investor- and board-ready product narratives
A design process you can see.
Discover
Workshops and user research to frame the problem and agree what the first version must prove.
Design
Flows, information architecture and the interface — reviewed with you at every stage.
Prototype
A clickable prototype to test with users and show investors before anything is built.
Hand off or build
A design system and specification for your engineers — or we build it, with the same team.
Ready to build it?
The same senior team can take the prototype into a production MVP — short cycles, release demos, and code you own and can hand to an in-house team later.
Common questions.
Yes. Design-only engagements are common. You receive the prototype, the design system and the specification, and you are free to build with your own engineers or another team.
Yes, and many clients ask us to. The designers and engineers work as one team, so what is designed is what gets built. See MVP & product engineering on our custom software page.
Funded startups shaping a first product, and established organizations launching a new one. If you are replacing or extending an internal system, our bespoke systems work may be the better fit.
Yes. Ownership of the deliverables is set out in your contract, the same as for code we build for you.
We scope it after a short conversation about what you need to learn or show, and agree the scope and milestones in writing before work starts.
