03 · Product Design & UX

Product design that makes people stop scrolling.

Distinctive brand systems, motion-rich interfaces, and conversion-driven flows — crafted by senior designers who sit next to the engineers building the product. No generic AI Figma, no template purple gradients.

What you get

Built to ship, not to sit.

Every engagement pairs senior engineering, product design, and AI expertise on a single small team. No account managers, no sub-contracting — the people writing the code are on your calls.

  • 01One committed visual direction per project — not four safe options averaged together.
  • 02Component-driven design system in Figma, tokens shipped straight to Tailwind.
  • 03Motion and micro-interactions defined in the design file, implemented as code.
  • 04Landing pages built for conversion — hero, proof, offer, CTA, in that order.
  • 05Onboarding flows instrumented against activation metrics from day one.
  • 06Accessibility (WCAG AA) and responsive behavior baked in, not bolted on.

Outcomes

What changes after we ship.

Outcome 01

A brand you can defend

A visual identity that doesn't look like every YC batch. Distinctive typography, real color intent, opinionated motion.

Outcome 02

Higher activation, less churn

Onboarding designed against a measurable target — time-to-first-value, day-7 retention — not just 'nicer screens'.

Outcome 03

Design that ships as code

No throw-over-the-wall handoff. Designers and engineers work in the same repo with a shared token layer.

Process

A calm, weekly rhythm.

01
Week 1

Discovery + direction

Audience, competitors, brand pillars. One committed visual direction — not a beauty pageant.

02
Week 2

Design system

Tokens, primitives, components, motion primitives. Tailwind config ships alongside.

03
Week 3

Screens + flows

Landing, onboarding, core product screens. Prototyped in Figma, reviewed live.

04
Week 4

Ship + measure

Handoff, engineering pass, analytics wired to the target metric.

The difference

The agency way vs. the Augere way.

Typical agency
  • —Kick-off decks, weekly status theater, quarterly roadmaps.
  • —Junior devs behind an account manager wall.
  • —AI demo that dies on real user traffic.
  • —Handoff = a Notion doc and good luck.
Augere Labs
  • Shipped surface area every Friday. Loom, not slides.
  • The senior engineers writing the code are on your calls.
  • Evals, guardrails, cost + latency instrumented from day one.
  • Runbooks, dashboards, and a warm 30-day support tail.

Deliverables

Everything you walk away with.

You own the repo, the model configs, the evals, the dashboards. No lock-in, no repo held hostage, no black-box handoff.

  • Distinctive brand direction: logo, palette, typography, voice
  • Component-driven Figma design system with tokens
  • Tailwind theme config generated from tokens
  • High-fidelity screens for every core flow
  • Motion spec + Framer / CSS animation reference implementations
  • Landing page designed for conversion (hero, proof, offer, CTA)
  • Onboarding flow with activation metric wired in
  • Accessibility audit (WCAG AA) and responsive spec

Our activation rate doubled inside two weeks of shipping the redesigned onboarding. Best design money we've ever spent.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do you offer design-only engagements?+

Yes — from $299 for a focused direction + system + core screens. But we're honest: design bundled with engineering ships faster and looks better because there's no handoff loss.

Can you work with an existing brand?+

Yes. We audit what's working, keep the equity, and rebuild only what's blocking growth. No pointless rebrands.

Do you use AI in the design process?+

For exploration and asset generation — yes. For the final visual direction — no. AI defaults to safe purple-gradient aesthetics; distinctive design still needs a human.

Will the design work responsively?+

Every screen is designed at mobile and desktop, with a documented breakpoint spec. Tablet is a design decision, not an afterthought.

Who owns the design files?+

You do. Your Figma, your tokens, your code repo.
