Focused design correction and production-readiness

Some products need to be fixed, not just reviewed.

An audit tells you what is broken and why. But some products have reached a point where the critical flows need to be redesigned, not just documented. The AI-Assisted UX/UI Sprint is a hands-on design engagement for teams that need production-ready screens — not another round of feedback.

Why this exists

AI made it easier to build screens. It did not make it easier to know which screens are right.

AI tools, no-code builders, and lean product teams can now produce screens faster than ever. The result is a new category of design problem: products that look complete but are not. Flows that exist but do not hold together. Components that were generated, not decided.

These products are not broken in obvious ways. They are broken in compounding ways — each screen made a reasonable local decision, but nobody held the product together as a whole. By the time the gaps surface, they are baked into the codebase.

A

Your MVP screens were generated or contracted quickly and now need a coherent standard.

B

Your product is pre-launch or pre-fundraise and the design is not investor or user ready.

C

Your developers are blocked because the designs are directional, not production-ready.

The standard
"Using AI in the workflow is not a compromise on quality. It is why this service is faster — without being cheaper in the way that matters. The thinking behind every screen is held to the same standard."
How it works

Focused. Scoped. Senior-led throughout.

This is not open-ended screen production. It is structured design correction across the highest-priority flows identified in the audit — or in a scoping call if you are coming to the sprint directly. Every sprint follows the same structure.

01
Days 1–3 · Scope and audit

Agree on what to correct, rebuild, and keep

If you have not done a Studio Fra Design Audit, the sprint begins with a focused assessment of the flows in scope. We agree on what needs to be corrected, what should be rebuilt, and what is already solid enough to keep. Nothing is redesigned for the sake of redesign.

02
Days 4–12 · Design and correction

Hands-on UX and UI work across the agreed flows

Hands-on UX and UI work across the agreed flows. AI is used to accelerate exploration, variation testing, and production of supporting screens. Every decision is senior-led — AI handles speed, not judgment.

03
Days 13–15 · Production-ready handoff

Revised flows delivered ready to build from

Revised flows delivered as production-ready screen files with component notes, handoff annotations, and a short design rationale document explaining the decisions made.

Timeline
3 weeks from scoping call
Scope ceiling
2–4 core flows per sprint. Additional flows require a follow-on sprint.
What you get

A defined deliverable. Not an open engagement.

Deliverables
  • Revised UX flows for 2–4 priority journeys
  • Corrected screen structure and hierarchy across those flows
  • Production-ready UI direction for key screens
  • Component and design system clean-up for screens in scope
  • Developer handoff annotations — clear enough to build from without a designer present
  • Design rationale document — the senior decisions behind every major change
  • One review call to walk through the deliverables
What is not included
  • Brand identity or full design system work — a separate engagement
  • Screens outside the agreed scope
  • Ongoing design support after delivery — that is the retainer

The scope ceiling is the point. Going deep on a few critical flows beats going shallow on everything. Additional flows continue as a follow-on sprint.

Who this is for

Founder-led product teams at a specific inflection point.

Request a sprint if
  • You have a rough MVP or AI-generated prototype that needs to be made coherent before launch or fundraise
  • Your audit has identified 2–4 critical flows that need correction, not just documentation
  • Your developers are waiting on production-ready screens and the current designs are not there yet
  • You have inherited contractor-built or AI-assisted design work and need it brought to a standard
  • You are preparing for a demo, investor presentation, or user testing and the product needs to perform
Do not request a sprint if
  • You need a full product designed from zero — that is a different engagement; contact to discuss
  • You need ongoing design support week to week — that is the Fractional Design Oversight retainer
  • You are not sure what is wrong with the product — start with the Design Audit first
Getting started

The audit and the sprint work together.

The audit diagnoses what to prioritise; the sprint corrects it. If you already have a Studio Fra audit, the sprint can begin immediately — otherwise it opens with a short scoping phase. Not sure where to start? Start with the audit.
