Build the right thing
the right way

BuildOS is a next-generation product design agency. I design your product and turn it into a real, working prototype — not static Figma screens — so you can click through it and feel exactly how it behaves before you commit to engineering spend. When you’re ready to build, your team works from something already proven instead of guessing from a picture — which early clients have found cuts development time by up to 50%.

I design your product and prototype the real thing — either from scratch to your first version, or fixing one that’s grown messy. I work out what to build, design how it looks and works, and turn it into a prototype you can put in front of users, investors and your own team before you commit to engineering spend. It’s for founders with high stakes: a raise to spend well, a launch to nail, an enterprise deal to win.

Because your product is never finished — you ship, pivot, add features, raise again. A one-off handoff falls apart the moment you change something. An embedded partner already knows your product inside out, so every new release stays at the same quality instead of drifting. You’re not buying a deliverable — you’re buying someone who stays.

Both. Some founders bring me in to build their first version, others have a product that works but looks rough and needs bringing up to standard. Starting from scratch and fixing something live are the same skill — where you are just changes where we begin.

A freelance designer hands you Figma files and disappears. A traditional agency sells you on the founder, then hands you to juniors — and stops at a mockup. You get the same person start to finish, and a real, working prototype instead of a picture — I scope it, design it, prototype it, and stay as your product grows. No handoffs, no juniors, no drop in quality.

A complete, working prototype of your product — every screen, every state, every flow — that behaves like the real thing, plus short video walkthroughs of how each part works. Not a Figma file and a moodboard. A fully built-out product your team can build straight from.

Yes — and this is where most handoffs fail. I look at how your product is built underneath first, then design to fit it, so there’s nothing for your engineers to rip out or redo. They build from it directly instead of reinventing it.

Invite me to your Slack, or grab a quick 15-minute call, and we can get started straight away. From there it’s mostly async video updates — barely any lift on your side. Most founders move into an ongoing partnership (cancel anytime) or a fixed-scope project.
