UI Design & Component Systems
Aesthetic precision and developer-ready systems. Every component documented, every state covered, every handoff clean.
Increase development speed. Eliminate design debt.
The fiftieth screen should cost less than the first
A screen design is a snapshot. A component system is the thing a development team actually builds against, with every state accounted for, so the fiftieth screen costs a fraction of the first.
Deliverables
- High-fidelity screen designs - all key flows
- UI Kit in Figma - atomic, developer-ready
- Component documentation with all states (default, hover, error, disabled)
- Responsive breakpoint specifications
- WCAG AA accessibility annotations
- Custom iconography (on request)
- Developer handoff file with spacing and token specs
Common questions
Yes. The kit builds from atoms (buttons, inputs, labels) up to molecules (form fields, card headers) and then to organisms (full card components, nav bars). This means a change at the atom level - say, updating the primary button colour - propagates automatically through every component that uses it. The result is a UI Kit that scales without breaking.
Yes on both. The Figma file uses Auto Layout throughout, which means components resize predictably. Variables are set up for colour and typography tokens, so a developer can read exact CSS values directly from Figma's inspect panel. A separate handoff document specifies spacing, grid, and interaction behaviour for every component that has a non-obvious state.
Accessibility is built in from the start, not retrofitted. Colour contrast is checked against WCAG AA (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text) during design, not after. Focus order and keyboard navigation paths are annotated in the handoff file, and any component needing ARIA attributes is flagged and documented for whoever builds it so accessibility doesn't get lost in implementation.
Yes. Custom icon sets are delivered as SVG with consistent stroke weight, optical balance adjustments for small sizes, and both outlined and filled variants. Illustrations follow the same process as brand identity - mood board first, style approval, then production. All source files are included in the deliverable.
Best practices govern structure and behaviour - where to place navigation, how to handle form errors, what a primary CTA should look like. Visual style governs everything else. Conventions hold where breaking them costs users time (e.g., navigation placement) and break where following them makes a product forgettable (e.g., colour, typography, layout rhythm). The output is a product that users can navigate immediately but remember distinctly.
The engagement
The same four steps apply to every service. There is no hourly billing and no open-ended scope.
- 01You reach out with the problem, not the solution. A brief description of what is not working is more useful than a specification.
- 02A 30-minute discovery call covers goals, constraints and timelines.
- 03A fixed-price, line-item proposal follows within 48 hours. Every line is something you can question or remove.
- 04A deposit starts the work, and the schedule is agreed in writing before anything begins.
