Product design that is tested before it is built.
We find where users get stuck, design the flows and screens that fix it, and hand over files engineers can build from without guessing. Design is led by a vetted senior product designer, with us owning the scope and the handoff to code. Multilingual design is part of the work, right-to-left included.
On request. Delivered with a vetted specialist under our lead, when one has a slot.
What we build
01
UX audit
One key flow, such as sign-up or checkout, reviewed against heuristics and real sessions, with fixes ranked by impact.
02
Product design sprint
Flows, wireframes, a clickable prototype and a UI kit for a defined set of screens.
03
Design system
Tokens, components and usage rules, matched one to one with components in code.
04
Multilingual interface design
Screens designed in your languages side by side, for example English and Arabic, so right to left is designed, not flipped.

Ways of working
Most engagements are fixed-scope projects: numbered deliverables, a fixed price and a fixed date, all in writing before work starts. Product builds run as focused sprints with a working demo every week. After handover, Run keeps a system monitored, updated and improving month by month. The first call settles which one fits, and the quote states it in writing.
The AI angle
Design AI features people trust
Review queues, confidence cues and approval steps, designed so the people using an AI feature stay in charge of it.

Why is this line on request?
Design is led by a vetted senior product designer under our lead, and we take a project only when that designer has a slot. Ask, and you get an honest start date.
Do you build what you design?
We can: our website, web app and custom software lines build from the same files. Or we hand over to your engineers with annotated files and tokens.
Do we own the design files?
Yes. The files live in your own design workspace and are yours outright on final payment.
