Information architecture
Flows and hierarchy mapped before screens.
[ Platform service ]
Figma UI/UX Design — built properly, handed over completely.
Figma UI/UX work from information architecture and wireframes through Variables, prototypes, design systems, and developer handoff.
[ What you get ]
5 deliverables. Nothing implicit.
- UX map
- Information architecture, user paths, and edge states mapped before any pixels.You own: A signed-off IA and flow map
- Wireframes
- Key screens wireframed and reviewed against real user tasks.You own: Annotated wireframes in Figma
- Figma design system
- Components, Variables, and styles built so the system extends without drift.You own: A Figma library with Variables and components
- Hi-fi screens & prototype
- Screens designed to final fidelity with an interactive prototype for testing.You own: High-fidelity screens plus a clickable prototype
- Developer handoff
- Dev Mode annotations, specs, and assets organized for build.You own: A Dev Mode-ready file with annotated specs
- Done means
- Done means the prototype demonstrates the agreed flows, the library extends cleanly with Variables, and a developer can build from the file without asking what a token means.
- Not included
- Development implementation and brand strategy research are separate services; stock photography licensing is yours to own.

[ How it works ]
The figma ui/ux design engagement, phase by phase.
- Discover & scope
- We map how figma ui/ux design fits into your current stack, then agree a written scope with the acceptance criteria attached before work begins.
- Plan & architect
- The implementation plan records the structure, boundaries, and integration points, so build decisions are documented rather than improvised.
- Build & integrate
- Implementation covers ux map and wireframes in reviewable increments against the agreed plan.
- Verify & hand over
- We verify the acceptance checks, close the engagement out with developer handoff, and hand over documentation your team can operate without us.
[ Capabilities ]
The surface area of a figma ui/ux design build.
The platform and discipline surface we work across — what an engagement can cover when the scope calls for it.
02
Wireframing
Low-fidelity reviews that kill bad ideas cheaply.
03
Design systems
Components, variants, and Variables modeled for reuse.
04
Figma Variables & modes
Token-driven color, spacing, and type across modes.
05
Prototyping
Interactive prototypes that test flows, not just screens.
06
Auto layout discipline
Responsive component behavior that survives real content.
07
Accessibility in design
Contrast, focus order, and touch targets checked at design time.
08
Dev Mode handoff
Specs, code snippets, and asset exports organized for build.
09
Design QA
Build-versus-design review loops until pixels match intent.
[ Field notes ]
How we think about figma ui/ux design.
- What this service delivers
- Figma UI/UX work spans the full product-design arc, from information architecture and user flows through low-, mid-, and high-fidelity wireframes and finally clickable prototypes. Every deliverable is produced in Figma so the design stays live, versioned, and ready for design-to-dev handoff.
- Who this is for
- This suits product teams building web or app experiences who need more than static screens: teams that want usable user flows, tested prototypes, and a reusable Figma design system. It also fits teams whose developers need clear handoff files instead of scattered layers.
- Deliverables
- Deliverables include a UX map, low/mid/high-fidelity wireframes, an interactive prototype, and a Figma design system. Each artifact is structured for reuse and for direct handoff to engineering.
- Discovery and strategy
- We begin with discovery built around information architecture, user flows and journey mapping to define how screens connect and where users go next. Wireframe decisions are grounded in usability and user experience methods so structure precedes polish.
- Architecture and navigation design
- Information architecture organizes content and navigation into a logical hierarchy before any visual layer is applied. Journey maps and user flows turn that structure into step-by-step paths that keep primary tasks one or two actions away.
- Wireframing and prototyping craft
- Wireframes are built at low, mid, and high fidelity, each stage tightening layout and hierarchy before pixels are finalized. Interactive prototypes simulate key flows so stakeholders can click through the product before a line of production code exists.
- Design system build
- The Figma design system uses atomic design, a component library and pattern library, and documented design tokens for color, type, and spacing. Figma Variables organize token collections and modes for themes, while Grid and spacing systems plus a style guide keep every screen visually consistent and scalable.
- Responsive and motion foundations
- Responsive design is handled through adaptive grids, flexible spacing systems, and component behavior that works across breakpoints. Motion design principles are applied to transitions and micro-interactions so states feel intentional, not decorative.
- Accessibility and compliance
- Design decisions respect accessibility (a11y) and WCAG 2.2 conformance, including contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, and screen-reader support. Accessible patterns are baked into the design system so compliance is inherited, not retrofitted.
- Developer handoff
- Design-to-dev handoff is prepared in Figma with versioning and file organization, Variables, Dev Mode inspection, Code Connect where it fits the component workflow, and spec annotations that reduce back-and-forth. Components and styles are named to map cleanly onto code-level patterns.
- Usability validation and iteration
- Usability and user experience methods inform reviews of flows and prototypes before build begins. Findings feed back into wireframes, the design system, and final handoff so the shipped experience matches what was tested.
- Related services
- This work pairs naturally with identity and brand-system projects in the design-branding category. It also hands off into engineering and marketing builds that depend on a stable component library and design tokens.
[ Common questions ]
A Figma design system combines Variables, design tokens, a component library, and pattern library so teams reuse consistent building blocks. Dev Mode and Code Connect can make the handoff to engineering more explicit.
Wireframes are produced at low, mid, and high fidelity. Each level tightens structure and visual detail before moving to the interactive prototype.
Designs follow accessibility (a11y) and WCAG 2.2 conformance, covering contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, and screen-reader support. These patterns are embedded in the design system itself.
Handoff includes organized Figma files with versioning, inspectable design tokens, and clear file organization. It is structured so engineers can translate components and styles directly into code.
Yes, responsive design is built in through adaptive grids and flexible spacing systems. Components behave correctly across breakpoints and device sizes.

Figma Handoff: Preparing Files for Developers
A handoff-ready Figma file has named layers, token-backed styles, documented states, responsive rules, and specs that remove guesswork before the build starts.

UI vs UX: What You're Actually Paying For
UX defines the flow and the problem being solved; UI defines the visual and interactive layer. Scoping them separately makes design proposals easier to judge.
