# UX Signal Studio > UX Signal Studio, also known as UX Signal, is a senior design and engineering studio in the San Francisco Bay Area. We help founders and product teams understand what deserves building, design the experience, and develop working front-end prototypes. Our work combines user research, product strategy, UX and UI design, branding, design systems, and AI-assisted front-end development. We work with AI, fintech, and SaaS products, including complex or regulated customer journeys. A separate small-business offering covers websites, branding, and digital presence for local and service businesses. Our approach starts with a real customer problem. Every feature should earn its place, and the product experience should deliver what its marketing promises. AI accelerates exploration and execution; senior practitioners own judgment and quality. Design-and-build engagements include Figma designs and working front-end prototypes in GitHub, with the agreed design system and strategy. The client's engineering team handles backend development and integration, including APIs, data, and authentication. Deliverables, timing, and pricing depend on the agreed scope. Founder and team experience at prior employers is distinct from studio client work; illustrative concepts are labeled on the site. This is a curated guide to public pages. Service pages and the pricing page contain current offer details; a project proposal confirms the specific engagement.
