Product design
Design by the people who will build it.
Research, flows, interface design, and design systems, done inside the engineering team so what is designed is what ships.
Overview
The gap between a design file and a shipped product is where quality is usually lost. Details get approximated, states get forgotten, and the design system exists only in the file.
At Globex, design and engineering work in the same cycles. Designers review builds, engineers join critiques, and the design system lives in code from the start. The result is a product that matches its design because they were never separate.
What is included
Every engagement covers the whole job.
Research and discovery
Interviews, workflow observation, and competitive review, sized to the project.
Flows and structure
How the product is organised and how people move through it, before any pixels.
Interface design
Screens in both themes, at every breakpoint, with every state considered.
Design system
Tokens, components, and documentation, built in code alongside the design file.
Prototypes and testing
Clickable prototypes tested with real users before engineering effort is spent.
Design QA
Designers review every build against the design until launch.
Approach
How we design
We design with real content, in the real medium, as early as possible. A prototype in the browser beats a static mockup because it reveals what a mockup hides: loading, errors, empty states, and how it feels under a thumb.
- Figma
- Design tokens
- Storybook
- Tailwind CSS
- Motion
- Maze
- Accessibility audits
How it runs
A typical design engagement
From understanding the people to a system that keeps the product consistent.
- 01
Understand the users
Who they are, what they are trying to do, and what gets in their way.
- 02
Structure before surface
Flows and information architecture, reviewed before visual design begins.
- 03
Design in the medium
Components in the browser, in both themes, with real content.
- 04
Test, then hand nothing over
Prototype testing, then the same team builds it.
Questions
Things clients ask before they start.
Yes. We extend brand guidelines into a product design system rather than reinventing them.
