We help teams ship better UI with AI.
A few of the companies we've helped
01 Services
We've been shipping Ruby on Rails applications since 1997 — design-first, senior-only, no handoffs. We work at the intersection of design systems and Rails implementation, and we use AI tooling daily to move faster without cutting corners.
Senior design thinking from research through high-fidelity UI. We work inside Rails products, not around them - so the designs we deliver are grounded in what your stack can actually do.
Find the highest-leverage design investments before you build anything. We help product teams prioritize the work that moves the needle - not just the work that fills a backlog.
Stop rebuilding the same components in different shades of gray. We build token-based design systems that live in Figma and in your Rails codebase as ViewComponent libraries - one source of truth, whether your team is building by hand or with AI.
Design that ships. We build production-ready Rails frontends using Hotwire, ViewComponent, and Tailwind - no handoff, no translation loss. What we design is what your users get.
Consistent brand execution across sales decks, print, digital, and events. Built to work with your existing guidelines - or we help you establish them.
We help Rails engineering teams develop design literacy - better UI decisions without a designer in the room every time, and we build AI tooling to help them achieve that.
02 Quote
“John led and participated in product discovery and usability calls to craft designs for some of our most strategic projects. His work was progressive and inspiring, working with existing paradigms where need be and striving to improving paradigms where he thought it was needed. He coached other designers on our team and developed their skills, teaching us all quite a bit about design along the way.”

The UI Coherence Diagnostic is a one-week, $2,500 engagement that tells you whether your UI problems need a full design system to fix — and credits 100% toward the engagement if they do.
