UX Design

Creating user-friendly experiences for startups

Attract investors and early adopters by investing in creating a quality user experience. From discovery and definition to design and testing, we can help you launch new products for your customers.

STEP 1

Discovery & Research

In this phase, we gather key insights by defining target audiences and creating detailed personas. We map user journeys to highlight all touchpoints and identify pain points through research, uncovering opportunities to improve the experience.

STEP 2

User Flow & Wireframing

Using user research, we create seamless user flows to guide users effectively. We design simple wireframes showing layouts and functions, then refine them through feedback and testing to meet your goals.

STEP 3

High-Fidelity Prototyping

We turn your vision into reality with detailed high-fidelity prototypes for user testing and feedback. We perform thorough usability testing to fix issues early and deliver clear design documentation to guide developers throughout the build.

My partner and I had a great experience using Darby Design with our startup. She was very skilled at taking the message we are trying to convey and turning that into visual design and imagery.
