We design software that keeps your data where it belongs. Product design, UX research and early prototypes for teams building local-first.
What we do
Product Design
End-to-end interface design for local-first applications — from information architecture to polished, shippable UI.
UX Research
User interviews, usability testing, and synthesis for teams who need to understand how people relate to their own data.
Prototyping
High-fidelity interactive prototypes that de-risk technical decisions before a line of production code is written.
Advisory
Strategic design input for founders and engineering leads navigating the UX challenges unique to offline-first software.
