You don't need a redesign. You need Activation.
Most founders think UX is about "look and feel." At the early stage, it's actually about traction.
Two places where a design lens actually moves the needle:
→ Discovery: Understanding the "why" so your PMF is clear.
→ Activation: Ensuring those first 180 seconds in the product deliver immediate value.
It’s not about aesthetics; it’s about making the product work for the people you’re trying to convert.
Completely agree. Early-stage UX isn’t about polish — it’s about reducing friction to first value. Activation is the real design metric.

Remember the smell of a brand new computer box? The weight of a mechanical switch before everything went “slim”? I took that tactile nostalgia and turned it into a fully functional UI kit.
Heavy-duty keycaps, electric blue accents, and enough Auto Layout to keep even the most chaotic desktop organised. It’s not just a keyboard; it’s a time machine.

Love how you translated tactile nostalgia into a digital interaction system. The sound profiles + visual weight really sell the mechanical feel.
Brand guidelines from a recent project, stay tuned for the full reveal.
