Research
Goals, users, and constraints — what must be true for someone to trust the next tap.
Code Crafters
Design that earns the tap — not just the moodboard.
Flows, wireframes, hi-fi UI, and prototypes that make product decisions obvious — before engineering burns a sprint on the wrong screen.

WirePolish
Drag the handle (or use arrow keys) — wireframe on the left, polished UI on the right. Switch screens; toggle decisions to see the judgment under the pixels.
What's included
Deliverables a founder can price against.
Not a feature laundry list — the artifacts that decide whether users finish the flow and whether engineering can ship without reinterpretation.
Jobs-to-be-done, constraints, and success metrics — so we design for decisions, not decoration.
Paths through the product mapped before screens multiply — including edge cases and dead ends.
Structure, hierarchy, and tap targets first — the skeleton you just scrubbed in WirePolish.
Type, color, spacing, and states that feel like Code Crafters’ craft applied to your product — not a generic UI kit.
Clickable flows plus specs for empty, loading, and error states so engineering isn’t guessing intent.
Process
A sequence that protects the product
Research before wires. Wires before polish. Polish before handoff. Skipping structure is how you get beautiful screens that fail in use.
Flows & wires
Structure before style. Paths and lo-fi screens so hierarchy is settled early.
Hi-fi UI
Polished interface in your system — states included, not just the happy path mock.
Prototype & handoff
Interactive proof for stakeholders, then specs and assets engineering can ship from.
Mini case: booking flow that stopped losing people at the slot step
A wellness clinic had a booking UI that looked fine in a screenshot and failed on mobile — unclear primary action, cramped slots, no empty-state plan. We rewired hierarchy first (the same wire → polish pass you just scrubbed), then polished. Completion followed structure, not a new color palette.
