WHAT WE DO
A senior evaluation of your product that shows exactly where users get stuck, why they drop, and what to fix first.

See where you lead, where competitors win, and what to build next. A searchable benchmark, built once for your team to maintain.

We turn fuzzy problems into a clear, evidence-backed product direction before a single screen is designed.

Our specialty. We turn complex workflows, dense information, and high-stakes decisions into mobile and web products people use with confidence.

Explain what your product does, why it matters, and what customers can expect. Make the path from interest to actual value feel connected.

Brand strategy and a complete visual identity, plus the full launch kit: social, ads, email, and merch, all designed as one coherent system.

Senior direction for teams that need stronger decisions, tighter systems, and momentum without another full-time executive hire.

WHO WE PARTNER WITH
From stealth to scale, a senior design partner you can keep coming back to.
AI IS OUR EDGE
AI helps us explore, prototype, and build faster. Our judgment shapes what gets built, what gets removed, and whether the experience delivers on its promise.
It works because of who we hire. Every designer here is a builder: equal parts designer, product thinker, and engineer.
BUILT FOR THE HARD STUFF
What people expect before signing up should match what they experience afterward. We connect messaging, onboarding, and the product so the value promised becomes value delivered, even in complex or regulated experiences.

A beautiful interface can still be a frustrating product. Our UX Signal Pyramid helps us find what needs attention first: the problem, the clarity, the trust, or the experience itself. Visual craft builds on those foundations.
Start with the problem. Build something useful, then use visual craft to make it clearer. Explore the UX Signal Studio framework.

FAQ
A searchable map of your product and selected competitors, including actual screens, flows, features, and marketing or ads. We identify where you lead, where competitors do better, and what to prioritize next. It is a one-time engagement with an editable benchmark and a walkthrough so your team can maintain it. We agree on products, access, scope, timing, and pricing before starting.
We work with a select number of clients so every engagement gets focused attention. Our discovery call helps both sides assess goals, scope, budget, timing, and working expectations before deciding whether to move forward. Booking a call does not guarantee a proposal or project acceptance. We reserve the right to decline new engagements for legitimate, nondiscriminatory business reasons, including limited capacity or a mismatch between project needs and our expertise.
UX Signal Studio is a senior design and engineering studio. We bring research, product strategy, UX, branding, and front-end development together for founders and product teams. Engagements range from focused audits to design-and-build support, with backend integration owned by your engineering team.
Teams searching for a boutique UX agency usually want a small senior team doing the work. That is us, structured as a studio: every project is handled by senior designers who built products used by millions inside enterprise companies. No junior designers, no handoffs, no bloated agency process. We take strategy and design through to working front-end prototypes with tools like Figma Make, Cursor, and Storybook. Your team handles backend development and integration.
For design-and-build engagements, you receive Figma designs and working front-end prototypes in GitHub, along with the design system and strategy behind them. Your engineering team connects the front end to your backend. We confirm deliverables for your engagement before work starts.
Choose ongoing support or a one-time sprint. The Design Subscription is $8,000/month for unlimited marketing and UX design requests, delivered through a prioritized queue. A Fractional Designer is $2,500/month for 40 hours with a designer from our selected pool. Website audits, product audits, Discovery Sprints, and UX Testing Sprints are quoted individually. Audit quotes are priced per page.
Yes, that is our specialty. We design for fintech, health, insurance, and responsible AI products, where compliance, risk, and trust have to become part of the customer experience rather than obstacles to it.
Two easy ways: request a free AI-powered UX report built on the UX Signal Studio framework, delivered within 48 hours, or book a discovery call. From there most teams start with a UX Friction Scan or an embedded retainer.

We agree on scope and timing before work starts. Subscription requests are prioritized in a shared queue. Fractional design includes 40 hours per month. Each one-time sprint has its own confirmed milestones and delivery date.
