our process
Discover a design process crafted to align seamlessly with your product, your team, and your tech stack.
Requirement
Gathering
Before we put pen to pixel, we start with understanding what we’re building and who we’re building it for. We break this into Functional and Non-Functional requirements to ensure a holistic foundation for your product’s user experience.
Functional Requirements — “What are we building?”
We define the core functionality of your product by identifying its key modules and features. This part helps us map out the product's scope and structure.
Some of the questions we explore with you:
What features are essential for the MVP or final release?
What are the key user actions and flows?
What third-party integrations are required (e.g., auth, payments, analytics)?
What platforms will the product run on—Web, iOS, Android, or Desktop?
The outcome of this phase is a Feature Blueprint that outlines the must-haves and nice-to-haves, so the design aligns with the real product roadmap.
Non-Functional Requirements — “Who are we building it for?”
This is where we deep dive into the user context, just like how engineers consider latency, scalability, and user expectations.
In our case, we focus on:
Who are your real users? (Ideal customer profile, user roles)
Demographics: Age, location, culture, language preferences
User behaviour: How tech-savvy are they? What frustrates them? What do they love?
Accessibility needs: Do your users have impairments or specific usage patterns we should account for?
We build user empathy maps and user segments here, ensuring our design is optimised not just for aesthetics but for usability, inclusivity, and delight.
Together, this step creates a shared understanding between your product, design, and engineering teams, ensuring that what we design isn’t just functional, but deeply aligned with your users’ reality and your tech goals.
UX
PROCESS
This step is crucial for understanding what your ideal user looks like and how they navigate through different user journeys in your product to accomplish their desired goals with minimum friction.
We usually perform these activities in this step:
Creating a Persona of all types of users for your product
Defining all the possible User Journeys in your product
Planning an Information Architecture ensuring ease of use and accessibility as the top most priority
Design-
Engineering
Alignment
Bridging the gap between UX dreams and engineering realities
At HyperSketch, we don't believe in designing in a vacuum. While traditional design studios might dive straight into wireframes and pixel-play, we pause to ask a crucial question:
“Can your engineering team actually build this—efficiently, scalably, and beautifully?”
This is where our process gets technical—in the best way. We collaborate closely with your development team to understand their:
Tech Stack – Are you using React, Vue, Svelte, or something custom?
Frontend Expertise – Are your devs fluent with modern design systems like ShadCN, MUI, or Tailwind?
Team Structure – Are you a lean startup or an enterprise team with separate frontend squads?
Workflow Preferences – Do you prefer component libraries, token-based theming, or headless UI?
With that clarity, we tailor our design strategy to fit your team’s strengths, not work against them.
Whether that means designing directly on top of ShadCN components or avoiding unnecessary complexity for a small dev team, our goal is to create UI/UX that feels native to your engineers.
The Outcome?
Designs that are:
Dev-ready and production-aware
Faster to implement
Scalable without rewrites
Loved equally by designers and developers
This step transforms HypeSketch from just a design vendor to a strategic partner in your product journey.
design
foundations
Where your product vision meets real interface structure
Now that we understand what you’re building, who you're building it for, and how your dev team works, we can finally bring it all together.
This is the stage where we lay down the visual and structural foundation for your product’s interface. But even here, our approach isn’t just aesthetic—it’s system-aware, brand-aligned, and dev-conscious.
Key Activities in This Phase:
Design System Strategy
We either align with an existing system your team uses (like ShadCN, Chakra UI, Tailwind UI, MUI, etc.) or we architect a custom design system from scratch—based on your brand identity, user needs, and front-end stack.
Foundational Wireframes & Layouts
We map out low-to-mid fidelity wireframes with clear structure, grid systems, and layout logic, optimised for responsiveness and accessibility from day one.
Styling Guide & Token Planning
Typography, colour schemes, spacing scales, border radii—documented with dev-friendly design tokens and naming conventions to make future implementation seamless.
Why this step matters:
Too often, teams jump from “pretty designs” straight to engineering chaos. At HypeSketch, we make sure every pixel has a purpose, and every decision has a developer behind it.
We don’t just design what looks good. We design what works well, scales easily, and fits your stack like a glove.
HandOff &
Iterations
This is an ongoing process of designing and improving the User Interfaces for your product based on the stakeholders discussions and user feedbacks.
Once your User Interfaces are final and ready for development, we provide a dev handoff for these interfaces by educating your dev teams on using the design system correctly for minimal efforts and changes.
While most Design Studios fail at truly translating the designs for dev at this stage, we shake hands with your dev teams by sharing them the design tokens, variables and the entire design systems in the dev-friendly JSON formats which they can implement directly in their product development.
