Interfaces that ship
like software,
feel like flagship.

We're a small UI/UX studio that designs and ships — web, product, and 3D — for ambitious startups who can't afford a year-long redesign or a template-shaped competitor.

A quiet roster of founders who needed it real on launch day —

Tendril Halcyon /Co Lume Atelier 9 Northbound Fieldnote
02 / Services

Four practices. One end-to-end team.

01 / Web

Marketing sites that actually rank.

Editorial design, hand-coded in semantic HTML and tuned for Core Web Vitals. Built so the SEO team has nothing to argue about.

Deliverable A production site, live
02 / UI

Interface systems, not just screens.

A pixel-tight design system — type scale, tokens, components — that survives contact with a real product team and a year of feature requests.

Deliverable A living design system
03 / UX

Flows that move the needle, not the cursor.

Research, journey mapping, and interaction design — all aimed at one or two metrics we agree on up front. Then we measure them after launch.

Deliverable A flow that converts
04 / 3D

3D modeling for storytelling.

Real-time WebGL product visuals, hero shots, and configurators. The kind of moment competitors can't screenshot from a template.

04 / Process

A four-step arc from brief to shipped.

  1. 01 / Discover

    Get the real brief.

    Stakeholder interviews, audit, one decision: what does this need to do, for whom, by when.

    ~ 1 week
  2. 02 / Design

    Design in the medium.

    System, flows, and high-fidelity comps — prototyped in browser, not just Figma, so it can't lie about itself.

    2–4 weeks
  3. 03 / Build

    Designers who ship.

    Hand-coded production front-end. No handoff cliff — the people who designed it write the HTML and CSS.

    2–5 weeks
    Our edge
  4. 04 / Launch

    Launch & measure.

    Go-live, analytics wired in, two weeks of post-launch tuning against the metric we agreed on.

    ~ 1 week
05 / Why us

A small team is the feature, not the bug.

01 / Speed

Design that ships in weeks, not quarters.

You get senior designers from kickoff to launch — no juniors learning on your dime, no agency-sized timelines. Most engagements wrap inside 8 weeks.

02 / Built-in

SEO and conversion baked in from day one.

Semantic HTML, fast load, structured data, accessible by default. The marketing team inherits a site that converts and ranks, not a beautiful liability.

03 / Partner

A partner, not a vendor.

Direct Slack, weekly demos, opinions when you want them and restraint when you don't. We work like a missing co-founder, not a hired gun.

They redesigned our entire product and the marketing site in seven weeks, then quietly shipped the front-end themselves. We launched a category leader.
