02. Studio

Operator-grade
design. AI-native speed.

We design with Claude. We ship in days. Brand systems, design systems, and product UI built by an operator who has been a creative director and a Marine. Same craft. Different speed.

Three offers. Three doors.

Pick the one that fits.

Productized. Fixed-scope. Apply to engage. We do not do "let us know what you need." We tell you what we ship.

01. Brand System

Brand. Built once. Owned forever.

Logo. Palette. Typography. Voice. Motion. Imagery direction. The brand operating system, not a deck. Delivered with tokens, a Figma library, and a usage doc you can hand to anyone.

  • Verbal identity and brand voice doc
  • Logo system with sized exports
  • Color and typography tokens
  • Motion principles + sample slides
  • Pinterest-ready brand book

02. Design System

Design system. Forkable. Production-ready.

A token-driven design system that lives in your codebase, not a Figma file. Components, primitives, patterns, templates. Engineering-grade documentation. Built so you can leave us tomorrow without breaking your roadmap.

  • Design tokens (CSS, Tailwind, Style Dictionary)
  • Component library (React + TypeScript)
  • shadcn-style copy-paste registry
  • MDX documentation site at /system
  • Versioning, changelog, deprecation policy

03. Product UI

Product UI. Shipped, not delivered.

Your app. Re-skinned, restructured, or built from scratch. Marine precision applied to every screen. We ship to your repo on a branch, you merge when you are ready. No deck. No back-and-forth. Just shipped.

  • Audit + redesign brief
  • Production-ready React components
  • Accessibility AA minimum, AAA where it matters
  • Lighthouse 95+ on every shipped page
  • PRs you actually want to merge
