We design products for founders and product teams: from a fuzzy idea to flows, screens and a design system, ready to build. The team that designs your product also builds it, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.

## What you get

Designed by the team that builds it. What every product we design comes with, each shown in a product we shipped.

- **Discovery measured in days, not months** (Step 01 / Discover): A short, focused discovery. We define the problem and the first release, then design and build it with you in the loop.
- **UX and UI by the team that builds it: no handoffs** (Seen in Hiki · Bridddge): On Hiki and Bridddge, design and engineering were one team. The people who design your product also build, launch and maintain it.
- **Flows, screens and a design system, ready to build** (Seen in Hiki · Bridddge): Hiki has its own neubrutalism design system: bold borders, offset shadows and manga-inspired fonts. Bridddge runs on a custom shadcn/ui theme with a blue primary and sharp edges.

## Technologies used

From design to code. Our designs go straight into the product. These are the technologies behind the app we designed and built in this category.

- [Electron](https://larch.ee/technologies/electron/) (Desktop): Used in Bridddge
- [React](https://larch.ee/technologies/react/) (Front end): Used in Bridddge
- [TypeScript](https://larch.ee/technologies/typescript/) (Language): Used in Bridddge

Also in the stack: shadcn/ui · Tailwind CSS · SQLite

## Built in this category

Shipped with it. Products we designed and built ourselves. The same team would design yours.

- [Bridddge](https://larch.ee/work/bridddge/) (macOS app / 2025): We designed and built a macOS app for LinkedIn: dashboard, CRM, scheduler and automations, each a separate React app on one custom shadcn/ui theme. Live product: https://bridddge.com
- [Hiki](https://larch.ee/work/hiki/) (Web platform / 2025 / hiki.world): Design and full-stack engineering: a neubrutalism design system with bold borders, offset shadows and manga-inspired fonts, in several languages. Live product: https://hiki.world

## How an engagement runs

From brief to live. We don’t do proofs of concept. We build the real thing from day one, with you in the loop.

1. **Discover** (Days): A short, focused discovery. We define the problem and the first release. Days, not months.
2. **Build** (Iterative): Design and engineering together. Working software from the start, with you in the loop.
3. **Launch** (Release): Deploy, test and release. The real product, in the hands of the people who need it.
4. **Scale** (Ongoing): Scale what works. Maintain, measure and improve as your product and team grow.

## FAQ

Before you book. Anything else, ask us on the call. It takes 30 minutes and you leave with a clear next step.

### What do we get from product design?

Flows, screens and a design system, ready to build, from the team that then builds them. No handoffs, no finger-pointing.

### How long does discovery take?

Discovery is measured in days, not months. We define the problem and the first release; then design and engineering work together, with you in the loop.

### Do you build what you design?

Yes. UX and UI come from the team that builds the product. The people who design your product also build, launch and maintain it.

### Can we see products you designed?

Yes, both are live. Hiki has its own neubrutalism design system, and Bridddge runs on a custom shadcn/ui theme. Each case study shows the work.

### How does an engagement start?

With a 30-minute call. Bring the idea; we’ll tell you how we’d build it and what it takes. Book a slot in Calendly or write to hello@larch.ee.
