Launch Zebra Design: UX in Code for Technical Teams

The Problem: Fast Building Meets Real Users

You're building faster than ever. Cursor, v0, Claude—you're shipping functionality in days, not months. But you've hit the 70% problem: the code works, but users struggle. Your activation is lower than it should be. Support tickets are piling up. Customers love what you're building but can't figure out how to use it.

This is the modern reality: development speed has exploded, but UX expertise remains a specialized skill. Technical founders can build functionality extremely fast, then consistently hit a wall at the final 30% involving polish, edge cases, and user experience quality.

The Bridge Between Speed and Design

I'm launching Zebra Design to bridge this gap. Not with Figma files you'll never implement, but with deployed frontend code in your existing React/Vue/Next.js codebase. Working directly in your repository, transforming critical user flows from "users struggle" to "users succeed."

The approach is simple: take what you've built quickly and refactor it so people actually want to use it. Focus ruthlessly on the highest-impact problems. Move fast using modern AI tools while maintaining the UX quality your users deserve.

What Makes This Different

Code-first: Traditional UX agencies deliver Figma files requiring months of development work. I deliver working code in your tech stack, ready to deploy.

Built for technical teams: I understand your constraints. I speak developer language. I work within your sprint cycles and tech stack. No translation layers, no handoff delays.

Focused on metrics: The goal isn't to make things "pretty"—it's to move the numbers you're measured on. Activation rates. Conversion lifts. Churn reduction. Support ticket volume.

Recent example: 20+ screens including 6 complex dashboards, AI feature integration, and complete product refactor delivered in 3 weeks at agency-quality standards.

Building Authority Through Value

This isn't a traditional agency model. Following the Red Bull approach, a significant portion of revenue flows back into creating value for the community:

• Free tools that demonstrate expertise
• Weekly content sharing real experiments and learnings
• Building in public with full transparency

Better content → more awareness → stronger relationships → natural client conversations. No pushy sales. No aggressive outreach. Just genuine help that compounds over time.

Why Now

Technical founders are shipping faster than ever, but the gap between "it works" and "users love it" has never been more visible. Modern AI tools enable incredible development speed, but they can't replace systematic UX thinking.

If your users are telling you "this is complicated," if your metrics show people struggling, if you know your UX needs work but don't have the expertise in-house—you're not alone. This is exactly the problem Zebra Design exists to solve.
