Product Design · By an Engineering Team

Product design that your developers can actually build

We design products — flows, UI, and component systems — with implementation specs your developers use directly. And we design AI-native products (streaming, confidence states, human-approval flows) alongside the team that builds AI agents every week. From $3k.

What we design

Design that survives contact with engineering

Plain list. We're an engineering company first, so our design ships.

DiscoveryGoals, users, and constraints before any pixels.
User flowsThe paths through your product, mapped and validated.
High-fidelity UIPolished screens designed to a real component system.
Design systemsTokens and components your developers build from directly.
AI-native UXStreaming responses, confidence states, and human-approval flows for AI products.
Dev handoffSpecs, spacing, and states documented so nothing gets lost in translation.

Proof

We design the AI products we build

AI products need UX most designers have never had to solve. We solve it alongside our AI engineers.

AI-native

UX for real AI

Streaming, error and confidence states, agent-approval flows — designed with our AI team.

Proven patterns.
Buildable

Specs devs use

Design tokens, spacing systems, and specs your developers build from directly.

No translation loss.
Systems

Not one-off screens

Component systems that scale from MVP to full product.

Built to grow.

Know the number before you commit

Product design runs $3k–$15k fixed scope depending on product surface: discovery, flows, high-fidelity UI, and a component system your developers can build from directly.

How we work

Design as engineering, not decoration

We design knowing exactly how it gets built — because we're the ones who build it.

Understand the product

Goals, users, and technical constraints together.

Design the system

Flows, UI, and a component system, not just screens.

Spec for build

Tokens and specs developers use directly.

Review the build

We check the built result against the design, at no extra cost.

How we work & why it matters

We combine process, technology, and expertise so your product gets built right—from idea to launch.

We use proven stacks and clear delivery so you get results you can measure.

Technologies we use

We build with the stacks and tools your product needs.

Common questions

What is product design?

Product design at Essen Software is discovery, UX architecture, visual UI, and design systems—tokens, components, docs—with Figma/Zeplin handoff so development gets clean specs and assets.

Does Essen build design systems from scratch? +

Yes. We build bespoke design systems (tokens, components, docs) as the single source of truth. We use Figma Dev Mode and Zeplin for developer handoff with clean tokens and interaction specs.

What do you get from an Essen product design engagement? +

Phases: discovery, UX architecture, visual UI, design system, and handoff. We also help with visual language, color palettes, and typography to strengthen your brand.

How much does product design cost? +

$3k–$15k fixed scope depending on product surface: discovery, flows, high-fidelity UI, and a component system your developers can build from directly.

Do you design AI-native products? +

Yes — AI products need different UX: streaming responses, confidence and error states, human-approval flows for agent actions. We design them alongside the team that builds AI agents every week, so the patterns are proven, not theoretical.
