Award losing design
Design awards are for flashy animations and weird “paradigm breaking” designs.
We’re not about that.
Instead, we focus on the right amount of design that moves the needle in the one place that matters: revenue.
We do that by making your product easy to understand, painless to set up, and by helping your customers be successful.
Unfortunately they don’t hand out design awards for that.
—Rick Elliott, Founder at Konducter“Josh is an exceptional designer. His clear communication and meticulous attention to detail were invaluable in bringing our product ideas to life through well-designed prototypes. Working with Josh has been a pleasure—I highly recommend him for any UX project.”
Instead, we focus on…
Less process, more progress
No multi-month process where you wait for a deck you’ll look at once and throw away. We focus on just enough process to be effective.
Refactoring, not redesigning
Don't throw your UI away and start over. Most designs have 80% of the right pieces. Moving the right pieces in a UI can make it move from janky to smooth.
Design for what you need right now
We focus on finding and pulling the levers that will change your business right now and designs that grow with you.
A designer your developers like working with
—Terence Bennett, CEO at DreamFactory“We were going through a rebuild of our frontend, and we were getting a lot of user feedback that our UI was clunky, outdated, and worst of all, didn’t communicate what our product was capable of. Josh looked at our dev stack and delivered a design that leveraged the work we’ve done so far so we didn’t have to rebuild the whole UI. It’s such a breath of fresh air to work with a designer who understands code and can design directly for our dev stack.”
What kind of problem do you have?
“Our app is hard to use”
Then a UX Review might be for you. It’s the fastest way to make UX improvements on your app. We’ll review the top pages of your app with a focus on addressing the biggest UX problems. You’ll get an actionable report of things to fix in your UI right now.
“Our onboarding sucks”
Then our Onboarding Review sounds like what you need. It's a review your SaaS product onboarding to provide actionable UX changes to get more trial signups and more paying customers.
“Our app is ugly”
Maybe our Theme Refresh is what you’re looking for? We’ll take your existing UI components and create a custom theme specific for your product and design a few key screens to show it in action.

Why us?
Quickly groks your space
We’ve done projects for managing restaurant kitchen orders, troubleshooting plasma power generators, and administering kidney dialysis. We can handle your problem too.
All the screens
We have experience with iOS apps, TV touchscreens, web apps, and more. If a user interacts with an interface, we can design for it.
Design partner, not a mockup maker
Better UI is what you get at the end of the day, but we don't just crank out pages of designs. We’re a design partner that helps you reach business goals. If there’s a better thing for us to focus on, you bet we’ll let you know.
We understand development
We can leverage your existing UI components to refactor, not rebuild. We’re familiar with component libraries like MUI, Tailwind, Bootstrap, and shadcn. That means less time with design iterations, and more time shipping.
A design partner for VC and private equity
We partner with VC and private equity firms to be a design partner for all the companies in your portfolio.
If you’re looking for a design partner to support your portfolio, shoot us an email.
Who runs this thing, anyway?
Hi, I’m Josh Wayne and I make uncommon sense. I'm a veteran UX/UI Designer with over 19 year of experience creating designs for the likes of Google, Kaiser Permanente, City of San Diego, and many others.
When you partner with us, you’re actually working directly with me. No outsourcing, no handoff to a junior designer. You’re working directly with a senior designer with close to two decades of experience.
If you have a project bigger than just design, I have connections in development, copywriting, and many others that I can bring in on the project.
—Mike Dauphinee, CEO at The Dauphinee GroupJosh does this thing where he listens to you try to explain something you’ve struggled to put into words, sits for a beat, then repeats it back to you with such clarity that it sounds like the most obvious thing in the world. It’s so frustrating.
